Reviewed By tjmoney44 - Pittsburgh, United States

As an avid craft beer fan, I read about Thirsty Pug online and wanted to stop in while I was in the Auburn area. This place is really cool for beer lovers. It is very small so not really a place you would spend that much time (although they do have some beers on tap and a couple places to sit). But the selection is extensive and the owner was very knowledgeable and friendly, helped me pick out a couple local IPA's that were really good. Would definitely stop back the next time I'm in the area.

Ward W. O'Hara Agricultural Museum

Reviewed By raymonds813 - Warminster, United States

This place was truly a pleasant surprise. After noting that it had a lot of tractors, we were not necessarily drawn to it. But a friend recommended going to see the 123 decorated Christmas trees on display, so we went. What a joy! Greeted by a lovely, warm, welcoming couple who take care of it - we proceeded through many extended rooms, one after the other with ( in addition to the beautiful trees) marvelous displays of history and historic artifacts from farming, to music, to doll houses, to circus displays and many other items of interest. A great place to take family and friends, as we have already done. And it is free! Donations are welcomed.

We went in just to see Seward and Tubman’s graves. We took a picture of the map at the entrance and that made it easy to find the plots. Well maintained and worth the trip in. Such a historical place.

The Good Shepherds Brewing Co

Reviewed By H1102EHmarkg

My wife and I, after dropping our daughter off at Wells College for a college visit, had the opportunity to explore a few breweries during our stay. This was one of them. Garrett, the owner, greeted us and spent some time talking about his variety of beers and also took the opportunity in getting to know us. Very nice guy and my wife and I enjoyed the beer we ordered. I had the chocolate stout which was delicious. He’s in the process of relocating his Brewery to a location close by that sounds like it’s going to be a great! If we are in the area again we will make it our business to stop by for some great beer and say hello!
