This is the unforgiving spot where George Washington's weary troops passed the brutal winter of 1777-78.

Our Scout troop toured the encampment utilizing a Bluetooth speaker and the audio tour. It was a wealth of information over and above what our leaders were able to convey to the scouts. Two of them are history teachers and the audio tour was accurate to a tee it was a wonderful addition to our trip.

Thirty acres of a 1913 estate fashioned into a series of formal gardens including a meadow, woodland with shrubs and a produce garden.

My daughter and I spent an entire afternoon here last Saturday exploring the grounds and gardens. The grounds are incredibly beautiful and unique. The many seats and benches throughout the property encourage quiet contemplation of your surroundings. We had a very enjoyable time and I look forward to going back for one of their picnic evenings!

This zoo is small but when you have toddlers is perfect. The zoo has done an outstanding job to have variety, and it continues to renew itself. From feeding giraffes, birds, petting zoo, etc. My kid is only three, so we have not tried the zip line. However, my hubby has enjoyed their beer area and to top it off they have a great park So a membership is highly recommended or if you want to do something fun with kids and not spend hours walking around this place is fantastic.

Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens is a wonderful example of humans working alongside Mother-Nature in preserving, creating, and showing what lives among us. We lose more local woodland areas every year in the name of progress so please visit and enjoy this beautiful garden sanctuary as my wife and I recently did.

I cannot really describe this place nor do the photos tell the whole story. This is a working museum of collectibles from circuses and antique animatronics, nickelodeons, antique cars, dolls, player pianos, music boxes - well, you get the idea. These displays showcase the 60-year collecting hobby of someone who remains unidentified. How he did it is beyond me but he has surely traveled all over the USA and has millions of dollars stashed away somewhere. Regardless of what interests you it's probably been collected and placed on display. I was blown away by the number of items that WORK! See and hear the most astonishing collection of working player pianos I have ever seen. Also, the kinds of mechanical music machines to be seen at old sideshows in circuses. check the website (americantreasuretour.com) for times when they are open and for prices. I expressed astonishment at the technical knowledge obviously present to get all these machines working and repaired. The tour guides are pleasant, funny, and knowledgeable. Something for all ages and if your as old as me see how many items you remember as a kid!

My second experience in an Escape Room. First was aboard a cruise ship. We won the first one, but wasn't sure it could be repeated. A corporate team-building activity brought us here. No spoilers, but the number of chambers and challenges in this were unique. They understand that players may only do this once, so they try to make the experience worthwhile, win or lose. We won, but the end was unexpected. I think I may quit while ahead.

A place of quiet reflection that blends religion with patriotism. You can pray and think about those who sacrificed much to birth this country. Much to look at and think about.

We went to the Bridgeport location of the Conshocken Brewing Company. It was Tuesday and all the hamburgers were half price. I had the American hamburger which was huge and delicious. You could hardly get your mouth around it! As I said to the waitress, "Messy but very good!". My son and I each had a flight of their beers--4 glasses each of 4 ounces. Their IPAs are wonderful. Don't miss "Blood Money" which is made with blood oranges--very unusual and delicious. Highly recommended!
