Ok, it’s not close (1.25 hours away) and it’s not for everyone, but it’s one of the few ghost towns on the east coast. The underground mine fire has been burning for almost 60 years. If you do decide to go that way and want other things to see/do swing by the Pioneer Coal Mine in Ashland or Knoebels Grove Amusement Park in Elysburg. Admission to Knoebels is free, it uses tickets for ride admission. That way, if you just want to stroll through the park, take in the sights and have a bite to eat it isn’t too expensive.
