We are currently doing a Phase I investigation of a property in the Pocono region of Pennsylvania (you know - heart-shaped tubs, honeymoon cottages, etc.). We've found that this property contains the remains of an early incarnation (late-19th to early-20th C.) of what was to become this area's substantial vacation / resort industry during the second half of the 20th Century. While historians have devoted a good deal of attention to the Pocono vacation wonderland, it has been subjected to very little archaeological investigation. I'm wondering if anyone knows of studies of this sort of vacation / resort site in other regions. Just a few references to give us an entry into the literature would be much appreciated. 

Thanks.

Philip.
