Today we visit two special shops at Hickory
Bridge Farm. At the farm’s restaurant there is a lovely gift shop that
features a variety of cards, candles, and plush animals. A delicious family
style luncheon (baked ham and roast turkey), is included at the restaurant.
Located directly behind the restaurant, is The Country Store, a
wonderful museum of store items from the past. The store offers products made
in their own kitchen and a selection of old fashioned candies. Board the
Pioneer Lines Scenic Railway for a 16-mile scenic train ride in the
afternoon. The relaxing train trip will briefly pass the sight of the first day
of the Battle of Gettysburg, and travel north to the town of Biglerville,
Pennsylvania, known as the Apple Capital of the USA. The train’s conductor will
provide narration along the route that will include Civil War and Adams County
history.
