God didn't choose you because you are special.
You became special because God chose you!
Happy Labor Day Weekend 😊

Let me tell you something!
You can support prejudice or stop it in it's tracks. You can shame those around you or lift them up. You can believe the best in people or look extra hard for their faults. You can try to make people believe your side or forgive. You can revenge or you can spend your energy loving those around you. You can measure accurately the dimensions of the night or you can see the dawning of a glorious morning. You can believe there is no God or you can find God in everyone and make this world a better place. Believe me, it's not too late to change. It all depends on you from the very beginning. This is the MCMCC way! - Ibi 😊

We are proud to present the Grand Opening of our Museum's founders and champions of all things Jim Thorpe, John and Janet Drury! John, along with his wife, Janet, moved to our burgeoning town from Philadelphia in 1975. They fell in love with the architecture, history and, of course, the people of the revitalized Carbon County borough.

Both John and Janet were instrumental figures in preserving the history of Mauch Chunk and Jim Thorpe for posterity and advancing their beloved community into the future.

Please join us on Friday, September 11, 2026 for our new exhibit grand opening - Drury's Dream: A Retrospective of a Small-Town Entrepreneur from 5pm to 9pm. Light refreshments will be served. The first 75 attendees will receive a complimentary tote bag.
