Reviewed By jck123123 - Easton, United States

A must stop place if in Lititz. The tour is not very long (or expensive) but you learn about the history of Lititz as well as Moravians. Our guide ( a young, local woman) was outstanding. We were very luck to be the only 2 on the tour. They have a beautiful garden out back to also enjoy.

The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is a must see when out in Lancaster County! It's also a great tour on a hot day in the summer! It's a fascinating walk through time and to think about these enormous beauties at the height of their popularity. My husband is a train enthusiast so I enjoyed my own personal tour guide! Across the road is the Strasburg Railroad where tour rides are are available but we ran out of time. Definitely will be worth a return trip!

Great place to visit. We went when they had their end of season festival. We enjoyed all of their home-made recipes of Apple Cider and Sour Krauts! Told my wife how to prepare it herself! Great stuff!
