1. Renfrew Museum and Park
Overall Ratings
5 based on 37 reviews
Renfrew became a public museum and park in 1975 through the generosity of its last private owner, Emma Geiser Nicodemus, and her sister, Hazel Geiser. In her will Emma Nicodemus specified that her house and the surrounding 107-acres, willed to the Borough of Waynesboro, be made into a museum and parkland. Mrs. Nicodemus wanted the facility to be called Renfrew in remembrance of two young sisters by that name. According to local legend, the girls met their demise in 1764 on what is now Park property. More than a quarter of a century after its creation, Renfrew has grown by leaps and bounds. Research and restoration have expanded the scope of the site to include a Visitors Center in the Victorian period barn, several restored outbuildings which include the smokehouse, milkhouse, and the Fahnestock farmstead with its barn and house. We have designated all the important Royer farmstead sites with bronze markers set in field stone.

We have visited this museum for many different events but the Civil War Reenactment and Christmas presentation are the best. The grounds are kept immaculately and the House & Barn are chuck full of interesting antiques and articles.

Something magical about this place. Like stepping back in time. Sundays May til October they have great band music to dance to or just listen. A nice stop for hikers walking the Appalachian Trail. There is a concession stand, tables for picnicking, and swings, slides, etc. for the children to enjoy. And can't forget the beautiful views!
3. Zoe's Chocolate Co.

I wanted chocolates for a friend's birthday and remember being impressed with the quality offered at Zoe's (I'd popped in late last year). I didn't realize the store had gone through such extensive renovations since then! The displays are inciting, the expanded space gives a chic meets antique feel that I found very inviting. There's even glass paned observation area in the back now to watch the chocolatiers at work. I'll not wait so long for my return trip!
The chickadee selection was perfect! There's a candy bar just for birthdays and they had a Spring limited edition bar with a clear sugar glazed fresh flower impressed into the chocolate.
Small bite sized pieces were for sell as well as a large array of pre-boxed/bagged chocolate treats.
The staff members were exceptionally friendly too, welcoming but not over bearing. Well done

High Rock Overlook is a motorcycling destination I try to hit while going or coming from far-off places. For me it's a great place to spend a half-hour en-route to farther places. The view is gorgeous but don't venture too close to the edge.

There seems to be a couple names used to refer to this shop, including the Candy Kitchen. Whatever you call it, the candy is delicious! I sampled 2 truffles and the almond butter crunch. They were delicious and the price was reasonable for the quality. There was a huge selection, it can be hard to make a choice...go ahead, treat yourself and get both (or all three).

Locally-owned 10-screen with VIP luxury recliners, renovated auditoriums, and premium digital projection and sound systems.
Reviewed By km_berkstresser - Pennsylvania
Cannot beat this place! First off the location is great, it's pretty much out in the middle of nowhere. I've been here several times and never had a bad experience. VIP is where it is at. The recliners are comfortable and quite spacious. The VIP theaters are all assigned seating, which is nice if you order online ahead of time. They also offer free refills on all sizes of drink and popcorn. Overall the experience is great. I love this place!
