What a treasure! Dennison OH was a division point on the Pennsylvania Railroad and every train that passed through stopped there. During World War II local volunteers and the Salvation Army operated a canteen that ultimately served 1.3 million servicemen from 1942 to 1946. The community rallied to preserve this historic landmark and it is now a well curated museum that appeals to all ages. We met Peyton, Riley, and Rhonda there today and had a wonderful time travel experience. We explored many aspects not only of train travel but of everyday life in America over the last hundred years. It was an opportunity to tell family stories that related to certain exhibits and reflect on certain aspects of American history. An afternoon well spent!
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
