Stopped off on the way back home to use the loo and decided to check out the visitor center - which…read moreis kind of cool and has a fancy old motorcycle in the lobby to commemorate Harley. (Didn't get a picture because of the bright sun glaring off the window.) The facilities aren't much here: there are some vending machines and two urinals and two stalls (I think) in the men's. I didn't visit the ladies but I'm sure it's comparable. There are some nice benches outside in the tree-shaded field right before the building which are pleasant to sit at if you're in the mood. I don't really have complaints just wish that Pennsylvania visitor centers were a little larger and maybe had someplace to sit inside. But it is still relatively pleasant to get out and stretch for the final 55-mile leg of my trip home. The gentleman, Walter, inside the visitor center was pleasant and willing to help with directions, maps, brochures and I was honestly surprised the center is staffed considering it's Labor Day but I guess maybe holidays are when it should be staffed.

I knew better than to drink that coffee before we left to go to Lancaster. And yes, I DID pee…read morebefore we left, but it was no use. Remember when your mom used to tell you to do that? As if it's a one and done thing. Sometimes I can use the bathroom ten minutes after I used the bathroom. This is life. So when I saw the sign that there was a Welcome Center coming up, I told Jeremy to pull in. We travel a lot and rest stops/welcome centers can be hit or miss for me because of the wheelchair. I was prepared for the place to be packed, since it was a Saturday during the summer, but it wasn't crazy at all. I mean, the 16-wheeler parking was a little outrageous. At one point we thought a truck was going to block us in, and since my ramp comes out the back, that I wouldn't be able to exit the van at all. But the driver moved - whether he heard Jeremy yelling, "Are you kidding me?!" or not I cannot tell you. TWO attendants saw us coming and unlocked the family/accessible bathroom before we had fully entered the building. I'm glad that I didn't have to search someone out. Though it is a pity that these types of bathrooms are ever locked. Makes me wonder what goes on in these bathrooms that they have to be locked. I probably don't wanna know. The bathroom was wonderfully accessible. Even the light switch was lowered so people using wheelchairs should be able to use it. It's been a long time since I have been so impressed by a bathroom. We didn't explore any more of the Welcome Center, as we were meeting up with two other vehicles full of friends at Shady Maple, and didn't want to be late. I am grateful for the attentive service and clean, accessible bathroom.

It's the color that did it for me!! This previously plain brick building got a face lift with a…read morecharming splash of cobalt blue on the roof and a paler cornflower blue for the brick. It was certainly eye catching and worth the gander! Not only is the outside immaculately manicured with shrubbery and flowers, but the inside is lovely too. You can tell the postal workers here take pride in their building! The staff here is very knowledgeable and helps you find the most convenient and cost effective shipping options. Courteous and friendly service! No passport service here, but plenty of parking and roomy interior! Hours are M-F 9:00-12:00/1:00-4:30, Sat. 9:00-12:00

Time for my next Yelp review! This time it's for Glatfelter Memorial Library, which, for the…read morerecord, is not my local library--it's about an hour and a half away from home. But when I saw on Facebook that they were hosting a Jigsaw Puzzle Swap that fit perfectly into my Saturday schedule, I knew I had to make the trip. I had a stack of puzzles ready for a new home, and honestly, what better excuse for a little road trip than puzzles and a good cause? I arrived just a few minutes after the library opened, and it was like stepping into a Hallmark movie version of a Saturday morning--lights on, doors open, and a staff that was already fully caffeinated and in excellent spirits. I toted my bag of puzzles inside, confessed that I was a total puzzle-swap newbie, and was immediately met with kindness and enthusiasm. The staff explained how everything worked, pointed me toward the swap area, and encouraged me to take home as many new puzzles as I wanted--just asking for a small donation if I took more than I brought. I traded in four puzzles and left with four new-to-me ones (self-restraint was very difficult, but I'm trying not to turn my house into a jigsaw warehouse). My favorite part? I dropped off a donut puzzle I loved and somehow managed to find another donut puzzle to take home. The puzzle gods were clearly smiling on me. All in all, it was a really great experience--friendly staff, easy-to-find location, plenty of free parking, and a welcoming, community-centered vibe. I'll definitely be back for another swap. Because let's be honest--there's always room for one more puzzle...right?

First it's 8am-5pm m-f for times where you have to pay during the week and on weekends it's free and then they decide to change it to 8am-8pm m-f without notice to the public and draw with a sharpie of the signs for notification that firms had changed. This city is all about getting every penny possible from its residents. And then over paying for food at the restaurants in this city. I'd advise just to avoid going in town for food. You're better off going to chipotle for a decide meal rather than waste your time downtown

The bleachers take up the entire viewing area. I am handicapped, have a license plate and everything. We were blocked by some overzealous road guards from getting to the handicap parking spots. You can do everything here in about 5 minutes. We met one nice lady who showed my son some civil war weapons and spoke about them. We left early the first day because it was 100 degrees and we couldn't see anything as far as the scheduled reenactments. Came back on Sunday and the people at the entry acted like the 4th reich, entry denied. My non recommendation, save your money- go to the free battle sites, the cemetery, and other free stuff. The Daniel Lady Farm was not worth it.

While the grounds appear to be smaller than the previous location they do good with what ground they have. They have several speakers in tents that portray civil war generals. They do a good job of describing their role in the battle as well as their personal biographies. They also have sharpshooter and artillery demonstrations as well as several battles. The battlefield tends to fill up quickly so come early for a good viewing spot. I only wish they would have more battles.
