The TrailSide room: timber posts, a full-length bar, and tables along the brick wall.

Lehighton, Pennsylvania

TrailSide on the D&L.

A historic performance and event house in the former mill building at 201 North Main Lane. Rustic elegance, modern amenities, and celebrations kept personal by Jordan and Brandon Cummins.

2025 Business of the Year Carbon County Chamber

The house

Four lives, then a place to gather.

Before TrailSide, these walls were the Henry Miller Planning Mill, the City Lumber Company, the Lehigh Stove Co., and Insurrection Distillery. An original stove from the stove works is still in the house. The name comes from the historic D&L Trail next door.

  1. Earlier

    Mill, lumber, stove works

    Jordan Cummins traced the building from a planning mill to City Lumber and then the Lehigh Stove Co.

  2. Later

    Insurrection Distillery

    The couple took the former distillery after first imagining a bar, then choosing an event house that could live beside their full-time work.

  3. Spring 2024

    TrailSide opens

    A ribbon cutting with the Carbon County Chamber on May 2, 2024, opened the doors to bookings.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner here (catered by Cindy's Deli!) and had our reception here the next day. It was perfect! Natural industrial beauty without much decor or set up needed besides some centerpieces! The price was extremely reasonable for a wedding on a budget, and I would recommend TrailSide a million times over!

Absolutely beautiful venue for absolutely any occasion! Newly renovated venue with beautiful architecture. Full length bar with large gathering areas. Owners communicate very well with renters and offer many great packages. Can’t go wrong with booking any event!

The calendar is a sample until the owners connect real bookings. An open day starts an inquiry. It does not book the house.
