Its the only "visitor center" posted on some wood or something on that parkway. I know I shouldn't share this with random readers, but I have to explain it for you guys to understand why I reviewed it. I have a weird thing for rest stops and 24/7 gas stations no matter where it is. I have no idea why. Maybe its b/c time seems to fall back at rest stops, or the fact that you stop there in transit and it becomes a community of drivers in one, creepy location. Whatever the reason, I love stopping at these places. So anyone as odd as myself, I had to share. Okay this is no ordinary rest stop. First, if you need to use the john don't bother going here b/c they have port-a-pottys and they do not smell "potty". This is for the sheer enjoyment of going to a random linkin log place in the middle of Rockland County, and saying "hey, I could use a shiny rock." Also, this place closes early. I think 6. Alright so there is the most RANDOM load of fun filled crap here. It's like a local street fair from 1987 threw up here and nobody bothered to clean it up. Finger traps, rock shiners, an assortment of rocks, camoflage toilet paper on a ROLL, candy that belongs in a museum..It's awesome here. It's bizarre and so creepy, but it was friggin super. I think I even bought a couple of rocks (I'm a science nut; what do you want from me?). Anyway, everytime I pass that place I feel like I'm hitting the twilight zone because it sure as hell isn't 2007 over at that joint. CHECK IT OUT!!!!!!

They have a huge parking lot and it was so easy to park there. They have a pavilion on with picnic tables, two small educational trails behind the pavilion (less than 1/2 a mile each) and a larger trail (White Oak Trail) directly across the street. The trails are nice and very calming. They have benches along the route where you can take a break. I really liked the White Oak Trail, but all of them are really good for walking, as a more scenic alternative to walking on a track. All of those trails are circular-ish, meaning you will end up where you started, so there is no need to turn around. They are also pretty well maintained, especially considering that we are in the middle of a pandemic. Word to the wise. Don't forget your bug spray. They are not too bad and I survived without it, but it is one less thing to worry about. During the pandemic the visitor center and the restrooms are closed but this place is still awesome.

The tour is rain or shine unless there is inclement weather. The tickets are non-refundable. My family and I did the Christmas City Stroll on December 23, 2023 at 6:00pm. The tour leaves from the Historic Bethlehem Visitor Center (505 Main Street, Bethlehem) at the selected time. We arrived at the Historic Bethlehem Visitor Center around 15 minutes prior to our tour starting and looked around the store. There are a lot of great souvenirs. We then saw groups of people leaving the store so we figured they were instructed where to go for the start of the tour. The tour started at 1810 Goundie House right next to the Historic Bethlehem Visitor Center. Our tour had about 20 ppl. The tour lasted about an hour and 1/2. We learned a lot of history on cherished traditions: a candle-in-every-window, the renowned Star of Bethlehem and Moravian Star, the community Putz, and Bethlehem's exquisite Victorian and colonial architecture and two National Historic Landmarks: the 1741 Gemeinhaus and the Bethlehem Waterworks. We ended the tour at Bethlehem City Hall. It was beautiful to see the mayor's Christmas tree with more than 285 ornaments created by students at the school with different colored lights and another tree with white lights. The tour guide was dressed in period attire and was very informative. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history of Bethlehem, PA.

They have three interactive maps (think picnic size tables) that show you different categories etc. There is a history lesson on the walls as well as a "theater" (I think there are about 50 fold out chairs) that gives a run down on the steel mill and the ending of an era. There are clean restrooms, m/w/family and water fountains. The front desk is manned or womanned in this case, and they are a wealth of knowledge about the area! If you need more to do or know, the brochure rack also provides information. We also picked up some amazingly priced postcards as there is a gift shop included in the center!

The tour is worth sticking around for. It starts at the visitor center and takes a small walk down to the Wick House, where the officers would have encamped. It's the same building redone inside as it was back at the time. It's very informative to learn about just how miserable it was in the winter waiting for battle. The worst snow ever, lack of food/supplies/clothing would have broken many men. But luckily for us, most of the soldiers survived the winter and went on to fight for American Independence. It's worth a couple of hours to visit this historic site. After the visitor center, there are other sites in driving distance or some hiking paths if you just want to enjoy some nature.

The next time I drove through with my husband in the early fall to admire the colors. It was really nice to experience it blanketed in snow. The park was reasonably busy but no one was on the interior trails, just the paved pathways, so we had them all to ourselves. We did yellow and orange trails for 2+ mile loop back to the Wick Farm lot. About the Trails: The trails started off dirt packed and then quickly switched to snow over ice. We needed spikes and were glad we all had them. There were a couple of hills along the way but everything doable, some cute bridge crossings. I liked the historical info and replicas as well. Pretty cool to imagine soldiers posted up in the woods 250 years ago. The interior trails are not accessible for mobility devices but the outer loop is paved and runs adjacent to the trails in a few spots. I had a lot of fun - will definitely return!
