We have attended many concerts at the Luhrs center and a musical play. It is a wonderful venue and a treasure for south central Pennsylvania. Parking is ample, free, and near the building. Acoustics are great. The on line ticket service is easy to use and pay. There are a few good restaurants near-by.

This is the shop I visit when I feel the need to go to an arts festival or show...but it's a lot more comfortable, has the most personable owner and artists, and has an excellent variety of arts and crafts. I LOVE THIS SHOP!!!

Wanted to go to this place for awhile now and finally had some time on a Saturday to drive up to Carlisle PA. It was a nice day for a drive and only took about 50min. from Hanover to get there. The complex is huge with 2 large main buildings and a mile long outside area where the buildings and military vehicles are kept. Even with the masks restrictions, you can still do the interactive exhibits inside, including a parachute jump and a gun target simulator. We enjoyed outside the most, it took us about 1.5 hours to see everything outside spread out over 2 large fields. There is no charge for the center and it really was a great place to visit!

Antique Marketplace of Lemoyne

Reviewed By CarolynP2

We found a brochure for this Antique shop at our hotel in Gettysburg, PA. It would be about a 40 minute drive, but we were curious to check out a place that boasts 45,000 square feet of shopping. We were not disappointed! Walking in the main door and up a few stairs, the view and scope of the building was HUGE!! We asked an employee what the building housed in the past, and she thought it used to be a textile factory. The building itself I gorgeous. Large windows that lets in bright sunlight, beautiful hardwood floors and just a cool layout in general. Each vendor's area had a clever name hanging above, and there was so much to look at! We were visiting in October, so there was a lot of cute/scary Halloween items up. There is literally something for every collector out there. We spent a few hours walking and looking, and still felt like we didn't see it all. It was a fun place to visit. We stopped in during the pandemic, and have to say, all staff and patrons we saw were masked. It wasn't very crowded the day we were there, but if you did come to a busier spot, it wasn't hard to socially distance. The Marketplace itself is super clean. No cobwebs or dust in site. There were restrooms available in multiple areas as well, and just like the Marketplace itself, all were very clean. Antique Marketplace also does business online. I wish I lived closer, as I would love to come back again and again, just to see all the new items.
