The house
A mill building that learned how to host.
Jordan and Brandon Cummins opened TrailSide in spring 2024 at 201 North Main Lane, Lehighton, PA 18235, across from Dunbar Bottling Co. and beside the D&L Trail. They describe it as a historic performance and event venue with rustic elegance and modern amenities.
“We couldn’t shake our love for this space.”
In that same interview, Jordan said the area had few rooms for special occasions. TrailSide would rent the space, host its own events, and collaborate with Half Barrel Brewing and other local businesses for community gatherings.
The name TrailSide Events was inspired by the building’s place next to the historic D&L Trail. The Lehigh Stove Co. years are honored with an original stove still in the house.
