disappeared along with the jobs. The

Eckley, providing the rare opportunity
to glimpse a past way of life. The
kitchens and bedrooms, personal
items, clothes, chairs, outhouses, and
laundry rooms all remain as if last
used yesterday! See homes, churches,
social clubs, general store, doctor’s
offi ce, and other buildings. Weather
and staff permitting, walking tour
guides describe life in 19th century
mining towns, giving narrative on
how these folks lived day-to-day.
Eckley Miners’ Village is 9 miles

September 14 thru November
2 – It’s Fall Foliage Season, the
most colorful time of year to be in
the Pocono Mountains! Since the
Poconos cover such a large area,
there are three distinct zones in
which the colors reach their peak
at different times. In the Northern
Zone (Wayne County and parts of
Pike County), the colors are at their
brightest between October 1 and 14.
In the Central Zone (Monroe County
and lower Pike County), the best time
to see the colors is in mid-October.
Head towards the Southern Zone
(Carbon County) between October
19 and 31 to catch the latest peak
display of the season. Thanks to the
Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau,
leaf watchers can call the 24-Hour
Pocono Mountains Fall Foliage
Hotline at (570) 421-5565 to fi nd
out exactly when and where to see
the colors at their peak throughout
the four county Pocono Mountains
region. This is the perfect time for a

fall foliage air tour!
