Allentown, is the largest of the three Pennsylvania cities that make up the Lehigh Valley. Formerly an industrial hub, Allentown is probably most well known as the subject of the eponymous Billy Joel song. The long history of Allentown has left it with an impressive architectural heritage that includes buildings such as the neo-Roman Art Museum, which contains a reconstructed room designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The city is also home to the Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom amusement park.

This small art museum is a gem with a diverse permanent collection and, currently, several galleries devoted to Who Shot Sports, It’s an all encompassing exhibit of sports photography with early examples from the 19th century and the vast majority from the past 50 or 60 years. Think of a sport, any sport amateur, Olympic or professional, and chances are that there is at least one photograph of it in the exhibit. Horse racing, football, baseball, tennis, gymnastics, etc. plus photos of spectators. See it while you can!

We visited on first Friday of October. Since Covid is keeping visitors away, it wasn't crowded. We were given a tour by Rich Greene. This gentleman had a passion for cars and their history. We learned so much about the first Ford vehicles and Hudsons. We also visited across the street at RB Collections where they restore classic cars. Al R. also provided us with information regarding the work they do restoring vehicles. It was fantastic. If you plan on visiting make sure it's on Wednesday and Friday when Mr. Greene is there. You won't regret it. The museum was great also.

We attended the Christmas show with another couple. The food was surprisingly good for a dinner theater. The play was also way above expectations. They have a permanent staff of multitalented actors and musicians who arranged familiar songs into medleys and composed a few songs as well. The songs were well paced so as to never be too long and they were well sung and entertaining. We’ll be back again.

The Merchants Square Model Train Exhibit has over 40 model trains rolling down 18,000 feet of track; more than 1,000 miniature structures, some handmade from scratch; 30,000 lights illuminating the stars, sky, moon, and buildings; and a real thunderstorm!
I did not know what to expect, we arrived in middle of the show and were let in, came back later for full show. I was amazed, two types of trains, HO scale & O gauge. There were at least 15 trains running, even had a subway train. worth your time.

I came here this past Wednesday with my cousin. Her and I were totally amazed seeing all these vintage trucks on display. You name it this museum had it. We were given headphones to listen and learn about each truck that was displayed. I was especially interested in the Army trucks because of my father. He served in WW ll and probably had ridden in these. A very nice volunteer offered his perspective and information to me about these vehicles. Just fascinating to view vintage fire trucks and dump trucks of all kinds. Just beware about using the GPS on their website. We wound up at a dead end. Then we put in their actual address and that took us smack dab into a Kia dealer. Thank goodness I called and a man answered and gave me exact directions from that point. Hard to believe we were five minutes away but to us it felt like we were never going to find this museum.

It’s hard to beat the combination of fabulous aromas from the chocolate and the fun and whimsical gifts on display at Josh Early Candies. The store is full of tempting treats from fresh nuts and hard candy to all sorts of creamy and chewy chocolate bliss. So whether you are into toffee or truffles, peanut butter or nonpareils you can tickle your nose with tempting aromas throughout the store while also feasting your eyes on fun, fuzzy stuffed animals and seasonal gifts. It’s a lot of fun for the whole family, but plan on being there awhile to take in the sites and to decide whether you want the cashew turtles or the creme filled eggs. We love shopping there and enjoying the treats but it’s hard to limit what you carry out the door. Enjoy your visit.
