I was born and raised in J.T. I moved away in 2015 and have only been back once in 2017. My dad still lives there. From what he tells me, there's been a massive influx of people moving there and in the surrounding areas up the mountain, and the tourists make it unbearable in the Fall. There always were tourists as far as I can recall; but evidently it's gotten nearly out of hand. Anyway, thank you for this trip down memory lane. Looks like not a whole lot has changed as far as the buildings, but that big bridge over the river is new! There was never anything there but a cliff. If you made a Left where the new bridge begins, the old bridge used to be down that way about 500 or so feet. It was small and rickety. Miracle it never collalsed. 😅
Went all the way there today from NJ to sit in over an hour of traffic with no place to park only to turn around to leave . Packed and no place to put all the cars coming in. Was looking forward to looking around
Overrated and a shit ton of traffic…good luck with parking if the lot fills up..and handicap spots are very limited..cute town,but yeah overrated for sure..definitely only need a few hours of a day to everything

These days you have to arrive by 8:30 AM.
I only stopped by as a tourist since I was only 6 miles away at the time for an event and found the town soooo crowded. So much traffic.
parked on the street near Stabin Museum, passing all the Permit Only parking signs and walked a mile to the railroad
You have to get there early and on a weekday if possible. Thank you for your comment.
