Spring has arrived in the beautiful Cumberland Valley! There are lots of things to see, do, and learn that will give you great memories take home with you!
There is a special exhibit called "Attic Treasures" at the Mechanicsburg Museum. Come see some of those wonderful classic items you may remember from Grandma's house or Great-grandpa's barn. Learn more about how those items were used and where they were made.
On Thursday, April 11th (6:30 to 9 PM) there will be a Mechanicsburg version of Antiques Roadshow with the "Antiques Show & Tell Appraisal" at the Passenger Station. Bring your "treasures" and Richard Murry, of Elmer Murry Auctions, and several other appraisers will evaluate your items. There is a $5.00 charge per item with a limit of 2 items per person.
Traveling south through the valley, you can stop at Pine Grove Furnace State Park. On April 16th, the Camp Michaux Walking Tour will teach you about the Civilian Conservation Corps Camp and the Prisoner of War Interrogation Camp (from WW II). The state park will be beautiful for any kind of hike with wildflowers springing up to brighten your day.
April 15th is the kick-off for "Civil War 150" in Cumberland County. Friday evening will feature a Documentary Film Festival at the Carlisle Theatre. The short films will focus on the impact of the Civil War on ordinary Americans and how it reshaped small communities such as Carlisle.
Whatever your interests - hiking, fishing, history, shopping, or fantastic food - come visit the Cumberland Valley and stay at one of B&Bs. Your hosts can direct you to a number of high-action locations or quiet spots - gourmet restaurants or local diners. Check availability and make your reservation to a Better Way to Stay in the Cumberland Valley, PA!
