In my experience, York County libraries try really hard to be a part of their communities, and I…read morelove them for it. This particular library caters especially well to children, so if you've got kids you should definitely check out all their programs. I couldn't give the place really high marks because of it's very, very limited book selection. Luckily, it's easy to request books from any York County library and have them delivered to your local branch, but there isn't much housed at this branch that interests me personally. Well, I feel I should clarify that statement because if you love Harry Potter, Dan Brown, romance novels, or other incredibly popular fiction, you'll find what you need easily. If you're like me, and want to read classic fiction or to educate yourself with intellectually stimulating non-fiction...you'll have a tougher time. But, the library is clean, the staff is pretty friendly, they seem to have a perpetual book sale which is fun, and the hours are good, staying open until 8pm several nights a week. So, overall a good place, and it's a really great place for kids.

The large white building is stately, elaborate, and eye-catching in the small town of Biglerville, heart of Adam's County, Pennsylvania. The back entrance has pergola and sculpture with sitting areas for outside reading pleasure. Display cases in the lower level include historical significance of the locale. The lower level has several meeting rooms. An elevator is helpful. The main floor abounds in book and other reading materials, with various seating areas. Artwork throughout the library adds to the elegance. What a great place to gather for monthly meetings. Most importantly, what a great place to read to my heart's content!

The gem here are the rangers. I saw two talks, both of which I was completely enthralled with the history and the lessons. I loved being able to see Ike's book collection. Seeing a book collection tells you a lot about a person. Also the discussion on diplomacy was enlightening and so enjoyable. I did do the home tour. I was inspired by Mrs. Eisenhower, but also the partnership they had as a couple, let me with #relationshipgoals to bring home. The landscape is also just gorgeous! Stop. Learn. Enjoy!

The Eisenhower Home was such an interesting and memorable tour. As grand as President Eisenhower's…read morelife and presidency were, it was fascinating to learn that this peaceful hobby farm was where he chose to retire. You really can learn a lot about someone by seeing the place they chose to call home. Getting there is part of the adventure--you enter via a long, single-lane gravel road. It's so long you might wonder if you've made a wrong turn! Thankfully, GPS got us there without trouble. When you arrive, there's one long row of parking spaces. Head straight to the ticket area for your house tour pass, as they do seem to run out early. While you wait for your tour time, you can explore the expansive outdoor areas. Our favorites were: 1. Eisenhower's vehicles, including the limo that shuttled him to and from Washington, D.C., every weekend. 2. The Secret Service room with the small safe that once held the nuclear codes. 3. The putting green, where we enjoyed a little golf while taking in the gorgeous countryside views. 4. The greenhouse and patio, where we imagined the President and Mamie spending peaceful afternoons. We were lucky to get tickets for the 11 a.m. tour, which began with a 10-20 minute ranger talk about how the Eisenhowers chose this home and some of the people who lived and visited here. Tip: arrive a little early--the ranger shared some great informal stories before the official tour began right at 11 a.m. Inside, the ranger spent about 5 minutes pointing out key details, then let us explore at our own pace with a pamphlet to guide us. Indoor highlights included: 1. The portraits of President Eisenhower, Mamie, and their son John. 2. The TV in the informal living room--such a relatable touch for a world leader. 3. The special staircase wallpaper Mamie ordered, featuring the seals of all 50 states. 4. Mamie's very pink bedroom and bathroom. Between the history, the personal touches, and the beautiful setting, this is an absolute must-visit in Gettysburg.

It stands beside the Middle Spring Creek and is shaded by large, old trees. In the summer months, children are often zipping down the handicapped ramp and pointing to ducks in the creek. It is definitely a family-oriented place, and the library's strong point is its children's collection and variety of activities. But anyone will enjoy relaxing in a rocker in the front room by a big, bright window. Also, be sure to check out the Book Nook, a used book store run by the Friends of the SPL. There's always a treasure to be found! I'm so happy to have grown up with this library as a main theme in my life. I went to their programs as a kid, got a job there as a teenager and stayed for seven years, through college. It will always hold a strong place in my heart.

We took a lovely train ride in a historic railcar from New Freedom to Glen Rock which is about a half hour. The conductor pointed out notable sites along the way. We then enjoyed a fabulous high tea at Table 1837 Glen Rock Mill Inn. There was so much to eat that we left with a doggie bag. There were only 3 choices of tea but the salted caramel was delicious. They had 4 finger sandwiches, 2 scones and fruit. We also received a grilled chicken salad as an entree accompanied by a glass of wine (there were 3 choices of wine. Originally we were offered mimosa but then they ran out of orange juice). For dessert, we had Pots du Crème. We boarded the train and headed back to New Freedom. I'd definitely recommend and intend on doing another event in the future.

Plenty of free parking right outside the gift shop/museum (handicapped parking, too). We browsed the gift shop first--lots of train-lover trinkets, and of course, Adventure Buddy snagged a couple of those irresistible 3D wooden train models. I was over the moon when check-in handed us oversized souvenir tickets--complete with our traincar and seats punched out. Such a fun keepsake! The small museum next door took maybe 15 minutes but was nicely done and staffed by a friendly volunteer. After a quick pit stop, we boarded the D. Reed Anderson car. The open windows made for a breezy ride past pretty scenery--green trees, a creek, even small towns like Glen Rock where folks waved from porches. Actors in full Civil War character moved through the cars during the ride, building the story of Union vs. Confederate soldiers battling over rumored gold. At times it was hard to hear or follow the storyline depending on where you sat, but the big skirmish at the park--cannon blasts, musket fire, and all--was definitely the highlight. Tickets were $31.99 and worth it for a few hours of history-meets-theater-meets-train ride fun. This is a great daytrip for adults (grab lunch before and ice cream after nearby). Kids would love the trains, but younger ones may struggle with the length of this particular event. We'll definitely be back in the fall for one of their seasonal rides!
