Good afternoon and welcome to another post to my Travel Journal. Today, I would like to discuss Charter Day. Charter Day is when some Lancaster County travel hot spots are open to the public at no charge. Ephrata Cloister, Landis Valley Museum, and The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania are three places in Lancaster County that you can visit for no charge on Charter Day.
If railroad trains of yesteryear is of interest to you, then heading over to Strasburg is where you want to be. Enjoy celebrating the 327th birthday of the Commonwealth, by observing Pennsylvania made and operated historic trains.
If you would like to witness how the Ephrata Cloister Congregation lived their lives, visiting their grounds is the place for you. One of America's earliest religious communities, the Ephrata Cloister was founded in 1732 by German settlers seeking spiritual goals rather than worldly possessions.
Of course if you want to know the life of the Landis Brothers, then making a trip to the Landis Valley Museum is where you would like to spend the afternoon. (Please see my blog on Landis Valley.)
The Railroad Museum of PA is located at Route 741, Strasburg, PA across the street from the Strasburg Railroad. For more information, please visit www.rrmuseumpa.org. For info regarding the Ephrata Cloister, please visit www.ephratacloister.org. The website for Landis Valley Museum is www.landisvalleymuseum.org.
