Pocono Mountain Visitors Bureau

While every season is special here in the Pocono Mountains, the holidays are truly a magical time of the year. That’s especially the case for children of all ages who are fortunate enough to grow up with so much natural beauty surrounding them.

The tourism industry is quite fortunate to have the gift of millions of visitors to the Poconos each year. We also recognize not everyone is as fortunate to receive a gift this time of year. So the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau believes it’s important to help children experience the wonder and joy of unwrapping a toy this upcoming holiday.

Their organization, like their member businesses and their families, wholeheartedly support their neighbors in times of need. They encourage others to find the true meaning of the season and join in providing smiles for countless boys and girls who would otherwise go without a gift if it were not for The Holiday Toy Drive and its volunteers. This is a true example of what makes each of us Pocono Proud. Thank you to all. And to all, a good night. The PMVB is the official destination marketing organization for the four counties of Wayne, Pike, Monroe, and Carbon which make up the Pocono Mountains.

Across the Tracks Antiques

Across The Tracks Antiques & More was born from a simple idea — to bring a multi-vendor antique destination to our hometown of Honesdale. Owners Janet and Warren Heinly have spent over two decades exploring antique malls and co-ops wherever they traveled, always thinking, “Honesdale needs a place like this.”

After retiring from years of teaching in Wayne Highlands, Janet and Warren purchased a 200-year-old home in nearby Bethany and transformed it into a bed & breakfast, developing and sharing a love of history. Decorating that old home deepened their passion for antiques. When it came time to downsize after COVID, they became vendors at Plains Antiques — and soon began searching for a space of their own.

In late 2023, that space appeared — right next to the train tracks — and Across The Tracks Antiques & More came to life.

Today, the shop brings together more than 30 vendors offering antiques, vintage finds, home décor, art, and handmade treasures. Customers are greeted with a smile, friendly conversation, and often a wave to the passing train. “We’re amazed every day by the unique finds that come through our doors,” Janet says. “It’s wonderful to see the old become new again — and loved once more”.
