Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Beaver Meadows connects local history with a tangible cultural offering: the GreenLeaf Gallery & Gift Shop displays art in a restored historic church; the town’s history stretches from a trade route to railroads and mining. If you’re looking for a vacation rental in Beaver Meadows, you can consider during your trip planning whether art and historical context should shape your stay more strongly.

Trade Route, Railroad, and Mining

The settlement can be traced back to 1804, when the Lehigh & Susquehanna Turnpike passed through town and served as a well-used trade route. The Beaver Meadow Railroad was established in 1832, and its workshops were also built in Beaver Meadows. The railroad was built along the south side of what is now Main Street. This sequence connects two important transportation routes in the town’s history. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Beaver Meadows was a thriving mining town, with coal extracted from nearby mines. Many homes in Beaver Meadows are historic and reflect the town’s long history.

Art in a Restored Church

The GreenLeaf Gallery & Gift Shop offers an art experience in a restored historic church, with 4,000 square feet of exhibition space. Exhibitions feature works by local creatives and international artists; the works on display may change. Visitors can view paintings, drawings, collages, photographs, glass art, textile art, ceramics, sculptures, and decorative works. The wide selection thus includes a variety of art forms. The GreenLeaf Gallery & Gift Shop also sells handmade gifts such as jewelry, decorative items, and crafts from around the world.

Church and Event Dates

Saints Peter and Paul Byzantine Catholic Church in Beaver Meadows welcomes visitors. Check service times before visiting. Concert dates may also influence your choice of travel dates. In 2024, a concert series titled “Concert in the Park” was held at Memorial Park on Church Street. Five dates under this title were scheduled for 2025 as part of Beaver Meadows Borough’s parks and recreation program, from June 29 through August 24. These dates refer to past event years; if you’re planning to attend a concert, check current dates before arranging your trip around one.

Regional Context for Your Accommodation Search

Beaver Meadows is located in the Pocono Mountains, a region known for its scenic beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities. This adds a regional perspective to local points of interest in art, church, and local history. When choosing a vacation rental, you can decide what to focus on: should your trip be shaped more by Beaver Meadows’ cultural and historical themes, or are you more interested in the scenic, outdoor character of the Pocono Mountains?
