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.
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.
- Earlier
Mill, lumber, stove works
Jordan Cummins traced the building from a planning mill to City Lumber and then the Lehigh Stove Co.
- 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.
- Spring 2024

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!
