Graffiti Highway,is a popular tourist attraction in Centralia, Pennsylvania about two and a half hours northwest of Philadelphia.
The nearly one-mile stretch of Route 61 is a profusion of color in a mostly abandoned ghost town. The story of the Centralia Mine Fire begins in the spring of 1962, when, according to Ripleys.com, the residents were preparing for their Memorial Day festivities.
Thinking the best way to clean up a sprawling, 300-foot landfill would be to set it on fire, they did just that, having no idea the blaze would continue for more than 50 more years. The smoldering fire "latched onto an old coal seam from the mine," explains Ripleys, "and slowly spread throughout the mines under the city."
Over time, a pattern emerged: Fires appeared and then would be doused. But nothing could stop them from coming, and the stench of burnt trash filled the air. Eventually, the town was condemned and now only a handful of residents remain.

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay!"

Pottsville Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and the bed was so comfy! I love that there was NO carpet, but a laminate type floor! Cross street parking and no issues, the street really isn’t busy and there’s a crosswalk. Very, very kind and helpful staff! If I had one suggestion, it would be to possibly put some handrails in the tub. I have ankle and knee issues so that would be helpful, definitely NOT a deal breaker! Looking forward to our yearly visit next August! Will want to stay here again!"
