The Old Jail Museum in Jim Thorpe is almost like any other old restored prison museum I’ve been to. Almost. Sure it’s got its display of artifacts from when the jail was in use. Sure it’s got cells you can enter. And it’s even got a solitary confinement...
I had been meaning to get to this one for a number of years, but it was usually out of the way. Since we were touring a mansion in Newport, I finally had a chance to get to the “Viking Tower” in Touro Park. Nobody seems to be...
