So many interesting things in this area, and still beautiful, if the developes had their way, it would be a shopping mall. Glad you had nice time, next time go to Gettysburg, worth a couple of days up there.
my memory says it was moved to Chicago for the worlds fair. I'm up to a couple days total in Gettysburg. I stopped there overnight 20 years or so ago on an audition trip to new York. It was 20 below and had snowed several feet so only saw the museum. I went to a game con in penn. a year later and we spent 4 hours at little round top and the devil den. 3 years ago I got two days walking it. However it is still on my list of places I need to return and walk. We briefly debated hiking up to Maryland heights but with 3 kids, one 5 one 3 one 2 we decided another decade would be better.
