About the Location

te museum is hosed in an 1840 Mansion built by Mr. John Van Campen Coolbaugh.
It is one of the olest frame structures in the Poconos. The building has served
many purposes over the years, including a boarding house, a stage coach shop,
a safe house for the Underground Railroad, a Speakeasy during Prohibition, and
a dormitory for Camp Sunny Brook.

in 1976, with the property being in great disrepair, was puchased as the site of the
Pocono Indian Museum. Through the dedication and hard work of the Law Family,
the building was brought back to its original splendor.
