It is located on the corner here and you'll be able to park in the Sheetz and walk over to read it. It has the same text on both sides. It reads, "About two miles north is the site of this pioneer Presbyterian church founded in 1736. First pastor was Richard Sankey. In the graveyard are buried many first settlers and veterans of frontier wars and the American Revolution." I did not make the journey to the graveyard. Perhaps the next time I am in the Hershey area. [Review 1047 of 2025 - 695 in Pennsylvania - 24601 overall]

How I love the hallowed halls of a good library, and HACC's is one of the area's best…read more I discovered the local community college library in 1990 when I was first a student there, but I've had a life long history of haunting libraries wherever I wind up, so it didn't take an essay assignment to send me a-wandering in its direction. The HACC library is well-stocked with classic and current titles, and they also maintain an excellent selection of magazines. The reference desk staff are very helpful and patient. My husband is currently taking courses at the college, so I tagged along recently with the specific intent of meandering through the library and amassing a stack of books to check out. As soon as the sliding glass doors gave way and I bucked a hip through the turnstile, the inimitable library smell beckoned me to the stacks on the second floor and I was in heaven. I was pleased to see a wide array of Bukowski books in the poetry section, many new, posthumous releases and older titles as well. There still sat one of the copies I used to check out years ago, and the sentimentalist in me could not resist a peek at my long-gone due dates. The art and photography sections are as well-rounded as a Botticelli nude, with many over-sized titles available for check-out. And although my eye turns toward the artier areas, know that their sections on politics, science, and history are equally outstanding. I often recommend the HACC library to folks attending other schools as an excellent resource....I think it's an oft-forgotten locale to those not currently enrolled at the community college. Alas. It is so well-maintained that it deserves some love. Enjoy a cheap, relaxing, educational afternoon at our local college library (it's even open Sunday 12-5). Or just call me a nerd.

Although we know big business has no shame all they care about is more money and horrible service. Power has been out so far 2 hours. I wish you could give no stars.

Whenever the power goes out, I always call PPL to report it. And they're so lovely. They tell you the reason and give you an estimate of when power will be restored. Last night they said by around 230. 210am our power came on. Crucial :)

There are walking trails along the Chiques Creek on the other side. Shearer's Bridge was transferred to Memorial Park in 1971after it was scheduled to be replaced by a concrete bridge. The bridge is actually one that replaced the original Shearer's Bridge which was built in 1847 by Jacob Clare, damaged by flood 9 years later and reconstructed. It is the only cover bridge in Lancaster County that is painted entirely red (the traditional color of Lancaster County covered bridges) on both the inside and outside. It is one of only 3 bridges in the county with horizontal side boards.

You see, normally the GR is only open for tours during the months of April, May, June, September, and October between the hours of 9:30 am and 2:00 pm. I don't think anyone would take a day off from work just to go on the tour, do you? So this was a golden opportunity that we didn't want to miss. Now it was for the Christmas holidays so it was even more the reason to visit. There were a total of 8 Christmas trees inside the GR! Garlands and ornaments were everywhere. Santa Claus was there for picture taking. The Christmas village and the 3 trains that were running on the tracks -- so fascinating! There were free hot ciders, hot chocolate, and cookies. All of the staff were out greeting people and answering questions. Choir was singing Christmas Carols and the pianist was playing funky tunes. Governor Wolf and his First Lady, Frances were there shaking hands with visitors and posing for photos. And most of all, the mansion itself was simply amazing, as ornate as a residence can be! We were fortunate to be part of this occasion on our first visit. We had such fond memories of the time we spent there.

Marysville in Lights has been my #1 go-to walk-thru Christmas light display for YEARS, and it's…read morefinally time I give them the credit they so clearly deserve. I'm an extreme Christmas light junkie, and despite extensive "research" (read: driving and walking to see everything), I truly haven't found another local walk-thru display I love as much as this one. Pulling up to the small duplex home nestled along the river in Marysville feels almost other-worldly. The house absolutely GLOWS, and it's stunning. Thousands of lights, tons of nostalgic plastic Christmas décor, cleverly designed scenes, and a huge, fantastic sleigh photo op somehow all come together in a space that's not large -- but is used brilliantly. Every year I follow the same little ritual: sign the guestbook with a note of thanks, grab a candy cane from the candy-cane board, and then slowly wander through what can only be described as a Christmas light mecca. I also love that visitors have the opportunity to make a donation to help a local family -- it adds heart to something that already feels special. What truly impresses me is how much they've done with a small space. It's thoughtful, nostalgic, joyful, and clearly created with love. This is something I genuinely look forward to every single year. A quick heads-up: parking is somewhat limited, especially on busy, close-to-Christmas nights. Please be respectful of the neighbors and the host -- this is a family generously opening up their private backyard for all of us to enjoy. If you love Christmas lights, nostalgia, and displays made with heart, Marysville in Lights is a must-see. It's pure holiday magic.
