We loved this sample room right at the edge of Jim Thorpe. I have to give a huge thanks to Heather,…read moreshe made the experience wonderful and made recommendations for other places to visit. I really give 5 stars because of the service, the chill and open space/atmosphere. We tried a flight of wine and a few cocktails. Some of the wines I didn't really care for but some were great. The spiced apple wine hands down was the winner. We took home 2 bottles of it. The prices were very reasonable, I think we paid $15 for a bottle. We came back after walking around and trying a few other places. We will absolutely back if/when we come back to Jim Thorpe!

My husband and I tried the two reds they had and enjoyed them both. I really liked the local art work on display and the layout is good for couples up to medium sized groups. The lady who served us was so easy going, it is worth mentioning again how great the staff is. Their tasting bar area can get packed; so we found an opening and she served us right away and said we could go ahead an find an empty table, that she trusted we would come back to settle our bill when we were ready to leave. We were pleasantly surprised and purchased a bottle of red not only because we enjoyed it, but because we wanted to repay the kindness and trust extended. Thanks for a great experience!

I highly recommend Mark Sassani of  St. Joseph Fine Art Studio. If I could give him more than 5…read morestars, I would! He's 10/10+! Mark is a true artist with incredible talent. He has beautifully repaired and restored many of my statues, and his painting is equally amazing. (https://marksassani.com) In addition to being exceptionally skilled, he is also a genuinely kind and professional person. His work is beyond impressive! There seems to be nothing he cannot do. His prices are very reasonable for the quality and craftsmanship he provides. I live about 3 plus hours away, yet I would still choose him over anyone else because of his extraordinary talent and attention to detail. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Mark for sharing your talent with the world! I'm sure we'll see you again sometime!

In addition, someone had attempted to fix the broken hand, leaving it misshapened, odd-sized & actually quite scary looking.

So much to learn about and the perfect start to our time here in this charming little Swiss-inspired town. The museum is in a former church which in recent years has had lots of painstaking restorations. Admission was 7.50 if you don't care to see the video. We were pressed for time so we skipped that part. I think full price with the video is 10.00.

I believe this museum is a legit mom and pop run organization. They are friendly and know the history inside and out. I appreciated their perspective and felt the time spent here was worth it. I will note you probably won't spend more than 30-45 minutes from end to end, which makes it easy to schedule as a portion of your day in town.
