Today my dad and I took a trip up to Jim Thorpe, PA and decided to stop by and visit the Asa and Harry Packer mansions. I haven't been to the mansions in more than 5 years and it was just as amazing again.
We took a tour of the Asa Packer house which was extremely impressive, with lots of Victorian furnishings, very detailed woodwork, and some impressive family portraits. Unfortunately though, they wouldn't allow photography inside the mansion so all I was able to get were a few pictures of the outside.
The Harry Packer mansion next door was very beautiful in person. It was great to see the original mansion that inspired the facade of WDW's HM. The Harry place was not opened to the public though, it's a privately-owned bed and breakfast I think.
Anyway, here are some pics I took from the trip. Enjoy!

Here is a statue that was at the entrance to the Asa Packer Mansion. I love the detail!
Overall, the whole place was amazing. I highly recommend to take a tour there. Hope you enjoy the pics.
