BrianS Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) SWMBO and I are planning a road trip to PA and OH and ???? first week in September. Entering NY at Queenston/Lewiston crossing and heading south into PA. Couple or 3 days planned around Lancaster, Altoona, Strasburg, and Gettysburg. Maybe Hershey.... Eventually heading thru OH and MI and back to the Great White North. Looking for destinations and attractions along the way. Covered Bridges, trains, interesting drives, etc. Thanks in advance Edited August 13, 2015 by BrianS dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ZINGA Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 The Henry Ford Museum is in Dearborn, MI. A vast collection of industrial age, pre-industrial age, US political, 20th century, automotive and aeronautical history. There's even an exhibit showing the evolution of travel as the car was invented and evolved. Very interesting stuff. Easily more than a day to see everything. There is also a line of past US presidential limousines. Very interesting to see how drastic the changes were following John F. Kennedy's assassination in the back of an open top Continental. rolly and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, been there, done that, many times. Always something new to enjoy at the Henry Ford/Greenfield Village complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know it will be busy but we won't hit the border until Sunday afternoon... hoping the worst of the traffic is already crossed. Thanks for the reminder tho as an ounce of prevention beats a potty emergency any day. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfurth Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 If you're in to real football (the kind played by 300+ pound men who smash the life out of each other for 3 hours every Sunday in the fall, all for the purpose of someone else moving a leather prolate spheroid ball down a field), Canton, Ohio is home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. dhh3 and rolly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 wow, didn't realize how "well traveled" I've become... Dayton air museum twice, 2 days each time. I'm still not sure I've seen everything. Armstrong Air and Space museum twice.... still thinking about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but the jury is still out on that. Greektown as well. Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum several times as well. Not much into Football.... now, if it was Hockey we might be interested. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
