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.

"Eagle Rock is truly a unique and beautiful community. The house is wonderful extremely spacious, perfect for a large family. The host is very accommodating, his communication was top notch and answered all my questions before my stay.

"The house is excellent. It is historic, but has plenty of space. The town of Fredericksburg is easy walking distance and also quite charming.The communication with the hosts was excellent and they provided easy check in and check out (even left us Hershey kisses with the keys!). Easy drive to Hershey park which was a big part of our staying here.All in all, a great experience and recommended!"

"Everything about this stay was fantastic! The property was phenomenal with a great view. Close to everything but so serene! Lots of stuff to do for the whole family!!! "

"This is the perfect place to stay when visiting AOAA. The host Mary was exceptional, she communicated very well before and throughout our stay. It is the ideal place for a group of guys(or gals) to stay, with everything from a giant tv to a nice flat iron grill to use. All you need is food, bedding and your vehicles. There is plenty of parking, you can back in 4 trucks with big trailers in the lot and street parking as well."
