Hi Larry & Patsy.
I don't know about parking, but there are interesting things to do and see just north on I-81 in Scranton, Pa. Maybe an hour north. There is the Steam Town national Park. Great place to view old restored and in process steam locomotives. There is also The Lackawanna Coal mine museum on the north slope and it will take you down into an old working coal mine. Larry you will need to bend over a lot, but way cool. They even turn off the lights so you can experience TOTAL DARKNESS. The old Lackawanna train station has been restored and converted into a Raddison Hotel. But you can go in and see the incredible lobby and view the frescoes on the walls. A nice restaurant inside also. I've been to all these places. I would make sure they are open 1st due to the pandemic.
Hope this helps.
God Bless and stay safe.
Walt
