5 towns in America where it feels like time stopped 100 years ago

Jim Thorpe, aka Switzerland of America, because of its mountainous setting, is known for its century old Victorian architecture. The town was originally founded as Mauch Chunk in the early 19th century, the town prospered through coal mining and the railroad industry. Its grand opera house, elegant mansions, old railway station and beautifully preserved commercial district continue to reflect that prosperous era.

Best time to visit September and October.
