Take a trip back in time to visit the 18th century home of an independent and successful businesswoman in Pennsylvania. Your expert tour guide introduces you to the life and experiences of Susan Wright through a room-by-room narrated tour. The house is furnished with authentic antiques and recreates the time when the Lancaster area of PA was still a frontier! Yes, Ms. Wright really was friends with Benjamin Franklin! This is a great tour for all ages.

Red is the traditional color of covered bridges, but not Hunsecker's Mill Covered Bridge. Built in 1848, this bridge was lifted up off its abutments from rising waters in 1972 and carried downstream! It was rebuilt the next year, with a length of 180 feet. Unique to this bridge are horizontal floor boards - gives a different vibration when crossing! Beautiful setting!

6. President James Buchanan's Wheatland
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 496 reviews
Come discover the warmth and hospitality of President James Buchanan's Wheatland. Costumed tour guides share facts and stories from Buchanan's personal and professional life. Buchanan represented Pennsylvania in the United States House of Representatives and later the Senate, served as Minister to Russia, Secretary of State, and Ambassador to the United Kingdom. And, in 1856, Wheatland served as the hub of his successful campaign to become the 15th President of the United States. During his presidency, Wheatland served as Buchanan’s retreat as a divided nation struggled with slavery and states’ rights. Post-presidency, Wheatland became Buchanan’s refuge as he avoided public life after his term and retired as a private citizen. Wheatland’s tangible connection to the US Presidency, Antebellum and Civil War America, and the American political process make it instrumental to teaching history to modern day visitors.

7. Ephrata Cloister
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 355 reviews
One of America's earliest religious communities, the Historic Ephrata Cloister was founded in 1732 by German settlers seeking spiritual goals rather than earthly rewards. Gathered in unique European style buildings, the community consisted of celibate Brothers and Sisters, and a married congregation of families.At the zenith of the community in the 1740s and 1750s, about 300 members worked and worshiped at the Cloister. Today, the National Historic Landmark is open for tours, special programs, and on-going research opportunities.
