“A small but informative museum with interesting exhibits and artifacts on local Mennonite history and culture. The bookstore has some interesting titles, including used historical books that you can buy for as low as $5. There is a small admission fee ($5 when we visited). Definitely add this to your itinerary when you visit Lancaster.”

“Fire Tower is a location on the Atglen & Susquehanna Railroad Trail. In the Spring of 1959, an underground fire began here, under the eastbound main track of the Pennsylvania RR’s main east-west freight route through Lancaster County to New York, which handled more than 60 freight trains per day. The fire apparently developed in coal dirt used as fill during construction of the large fill over Boatman’s Run in 1905, and this coal was apparently ignited by brush fires in the dry Spring of 1959. On July 21, 1959, 2 inches of rain fell. It is believed this moving ground water penetrated the dirt in the Boatman’s Run fill and, under hydrostatic pressure, contacted the burning coal fire, causing a flash steam explosion which blew out the river side of the fill. The fire continued to burn until Spring, 1961. During this period, the railroad dismantled 675 feet of the eastward main track and hired the DuPont Company to extinguish the fire. A temporary interlocking was installed to route trains in both directions over the one track remaining in service. This temporary manned interlocking was housed in a small building given the name “Fire Tower.” After the fire was extinguished in 1961, the eastward main track was rebuilt, and the temporary interlocking and the “Fire Tower” structure were removed. No photographs of "Fire Tower" are known to exist. The area is still known as “Fire Tower.” The tracks were entirely removed in the 1990s and in 2011 and the railroad roadbed was converted to a 29-mile long trail. The trail is mapped as and locally known as the A&S Low Grade Trail, but it is also called the Enola Low Grade Trail. Approximate coordinates for the old Fire Tower structure are Lat 39.911806, Long -76.37920.”

Address: 300 Gap Rd, Ronks, PA 17572, USA
“Took our 3 year old train loving son here. He loved it. He did want to go in all the trains, but you can only go in a few. The guy doing the demo of the one engine was very friendly and let my son play with all the knobs and levers. Gift shop was nice and had some things that weren't too pricey.”
Address: 300 Paradise Ln, Ronks, PA 17572, USA
“I originally came here for my son, but can honestly say that I ended up enjoying it myself as well. There are a number of really cool dioramas laid out with interactive landscapes and trains. There are also hundreds of older and antique model cars. Most importantly, though, was that the place is very kid friendly. The staff was as well! Worth a stop if you're in the area.”

“My wife and I stopped in the late summer of 2017. The museum/home was closed when we arrived. As luck would have it we run into the curator who was just about to leave. I can't recall his name, but he was kind enough to give us both a personal tour. He was extremely knowledgeable. It was a learning experience we won't forget. Thank you kind sir.”

“This place is awesome! Antique Industrial power display. Agriculture equipment, all sizes of engines to look at. Go when they are having an event to see them run!”
Address: 11 Green St, Christiana, PA 17509, USA
“Christiana is full of history but underrated. The Christiana Riot was a key event in the abolishment of slavery. From the underground railroad, to the Zercher's Hotel, where the museum is located, to the location of the old Riot House (marked with a sign), there is so much to see and learn. Occasionally, Christiana will have an open house at the museum or a full town tour to commemorate the Riot. During those times there is a lot to see. People will be dressed up, food will be available and much more. Otherwise, the museum is very basic and a quick visit. But interesting, nonetheless.”
