Jim Thorpe, PA
A small town of 4,781 (census 2010) in PA.
Jim Thorpe (1887-1953) was the first Native American to win Olympics gold medal for the US, one in classic pentathlon and one in decathlon, in Stockholm in 1912. He was buried here. His birth: headstone says 1888 but the wiki page says 1887.
Some called this little town Switzerland of America for its scenery and architecture. Perhaps due to the weather, I failed to see the charm. The mountain may give a great foliage color in the autumn, but the town isn’t charming.
