Asa Packer Mansion Museum

The Asa Packer Mansion Museum, a grand historic home in Pennsylvania’s Poconos region, was built over 160 years ago by the railway magnate and philanthropist Asa Packer, who also founded Lehigh University. Constructed in the Victorian Italianate style, the mansion features exceptional period interiors that transport visitors back to the 19th century. Perched on a hilltop, it offers splendid views of the quaint town of Jim Thorpe and the winding Lehigh River. Today, visitors can explore the meticulously preserved rooms and learn about the life and legacy of Asa Packer.
