This was fun and definitely a recommendation if youre in Jim Thorpe! You learn about the past in a video, go down to the dungeon and back to the jail cells. There were crazy crickets on the ceiling in the dungeon. Its really neat to see the cells. You can visit upstairs and other rooms throughout. I would return.

My husband and I found this very interesting. We didn't know the history of the Molly Maquires previous to this. The short video they show at the beginning of the tour talks about that history but can be somewhat hard to hear due to the acoustics of the room. The guide was informative and answered any questions that were asked. The tour itself is not very long but you are allowed to explore on your own afterward if you would like to revisit some areas or check out the wardens quarters upstairs. You may also take pictures anywhere inside with the exception of one cell. Hard to believe this was in operation until 1995.

Very nice experience after a long walk around Jim Thorpe. Went here with my family of 5 (ages 18-45) at 12pm. They let us in 10 mins before opening and was able to go on a guided tour shortly after. Very informative, forgot the tour guide’s name - she had a long blond hair - and was eloquent and informative regarding the history of the jail. We went downstairs to the dungeon and that gave us chills. We were given time to explore the area after the guided tour. Restroom available at the old warden’s office. Photo op available near gift shop. Def recommend this place!

Amazing! Blaine gave us an incredible, in depth tour of the jail and allowed us to stay afterwards to walk around. Since Blaine is the grandson of the owners (purchased in 1995), he knows it ALL! Including some spooky stories... The museum is not "fixed up", as "other jails" do for tourists. This is a legit jail tour. I highly recommend. I'll likely come back for their ghost tour (but I'll bring a friend LOL)! Don't miss this.
