This memorial is a beautiful tribute to those brave hero’s who have their life’s to saves others. It was very emotional and I felt like crying. This is a must see place.

Great ride with our granddaughter on Fathers Day. The rides are reasonably priced and good for an all-day ride. The ride goes out to the end of the line and you switch cars, so each ride offers at least 2 different trollers. There is trolley and area history shared on the ride, along with a stop at the “barn” to see other trolleys. The trolley boarding is right across from the old Broad Top Railroad Station. Great family time with some history thrown in.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to DeBence Antique Music World. We went on a Friday afternoon and were given a wonderful tour of the DeBence collection, complete with many demonstrations. The volunteer docents were very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and were very accommodating, finding instruments that would interest our son, and even allowed him the opportunity to play several. As others have mentioned, you may walk around on a self-guided tour for free, or pay a very modest fee (amount varies depending on your age) for a guided tour (well worth the $ to hear the fascinating stories behind the instruments). Well worth the trip if you are traveling through Pennsylvania.

I stopped here today and was very pleased. I loved seeing all his stuff. Mr. Rogers was a great man and I’m so happy to see his legacy will live on. Please stop if you’re passing through the area. You will enjoy it. The whole building is really nice. :)

Amazing facility tucked in central Pennsylvania. Ask for a short tour to discover all aspects the Philatelic Center offers. The library is a valuable asset to those who love research. As this was my first visit, I found it tricky to find. Once you pull into the Match Factory parking lot - head toward PA career link to stop sign, turn right to drive back and find Philatelic in rear.

A museum celebrating the history of the railroad in industrial America.
Reviewed By Pzini - Cherry Hill, United States
Well done exhibits and displays here are of interest to both rail fans and others. Admittedly, casual observers (like my wife) will begin to get bored before rail fans (me) have gotten their fill, but the 3 floors of exhibits are high quality and should be of interest to all. There is also a small theater included that shows 2 different movies on a continuous loop. Be sure to walk outside to the locomotive shop / roundhouse where you will see locos and train cars under renovation. Continue on the outside loop and walk over the covered pedestrian bridge that crosses the Norfolk Southern RR tracks to the Amtrak station. Numerous trains pass under here daily on their way to and from the Horseshoe Curve- if you watch for 30 minutes, you may see several. For additional rail action, if you are a fan, after leaving the museum, drive north for 2 miles on 6th Ave and turn left on 8th St, which will take you over the 8th St bridge, which crosses the huge Norfolk Southern yard, and more good viewing of train action. Continue on 8th St to the left at 4th Ave, and you will pass the N.S. Juniata Locomotive Shop, where you will see dozens of locos parked on sidings (alas, no tours that I am aware of). Your museum ticket includes admission to the Horshoe Curve, and whether a rail fan or not, this is a must see. It is a short drive from the museum. The scenery is beautiful, and the trains pass by with amazing frequency, and very close to the observation area.

Very little parking available close to the museum. I went in because it was very hot and was waiting to meet someone. I did enjoy the cool air and the interesting exhibits.
