Celtic Knot
Asa Packer and his brother-in-law, a Blakeslee captained a coal barge down this river. Replaced by a lock system that rose 600 feet, coal became the town's bread and butter with Mr. Packer and son's mansion on the Jim Thorpe hilltop. An early 1800's severe flood and storm washed the locks away. Replaced by trains this knot is part of the old railroad that ran through the mountain.
