The HISTORIC OLD JAIL MUSEUM is located in Jim Thorpe was built in 1871 and served as the Carbon County Prison until 1995. It was then purchased by Tom & Betty Lou McBride and opened for tours. Today, it is owned and run daughter, Peggy and family. Visitors to the jail not only have a guided tour of the building, but learn important history of the Irish immigrating to America, the dangerous work of a coal miner, & the miner's connection to the Civil War and the mysterious handprint on the wall.
In 1982, THE TREASURE SHOP was the first gift shop to open in Jim Thorpe. Tom & Betty McBride, moved from Naples, FL, restored the historic building, and opened the gift shop. Their daughters worked at the family's store throughout high school and college. In 1992 their oldest daughter, Peggy, purchased The Treasure Shop which specializes in items made in both Ireland & USA. Peggy states, "the best part of owning a shop is having the privilege of my sons working with me and some days even my dog."
