Campus has so much charm and appeal with its Georgian buildings and beautifully landscaped grounds. All the new buildings have kept with the old architecture on the outside adding to its appeal. Students are friendly and willing to help strangers. The buildings are spread out so be prepared to walk the hills.

Short lines, good popcorn, clean facilities and variety of movies though sometimes short time span for availability. Had one experience of their computers not working for taking credit/debit cards and so now carry cash when going there

Well worth a visit! A hidden gem in the town of Northumberland. The volunteer staff is knowledgeable and friendly and make you feel like family. The house tour is informative and well worth the small admission charge. The small gift shop has great items to help remember your visit. Highly recommend a visit to learn more about Joseph Priestley and his family and how his discoveries changed our nation. (Helpful tip when visiting: cash or check only for admission and gift shop items).

We visited late in the day on a Saturday afternoon, and the hostess was still welcoming and engaging, The tasting room is large and roomy, which would accommodate the large groups I'm sure they get at times. There is a large selection of wines to choose from, and you get 5 tastings free (although the hostess did not quibble when I asked for one more). We bought several bottles of nice dry and semi-dry whites, and a very interesting bottle of port. We met the music director while we there, and learned that they host a number of fairly big name musicians (Styx is coming up soon). Would love to go back for one of their concerts! A very relaxing way to end a busy day touring the area.

The university has done a great job is utilising this former cinema to support its programmes while also preserving the heritage of a vintage building. The interior decor is impressive, the seating is comfortable and the acoustics excellent. Well done Bucknell.

Stopped in with some time to kill on a warm summer day and were very pleased. The park is very quiet, has many areas to relax and enjoy the view as well as the breeze that is afforded by being so high up. The restroom facilities are decent, and parking is ample. This really was a nice find.

Loved the roomy indoor setting on a rainy, windy day. Wonderful orchard offerings. We liked the effort by Schlegel’s to limit pesticides in/on their products. Delicious applesauce. Huge variety of apples. Lots of bakery booths, vegetable stands, some starter plants, many fresh meat counters, even seafood. Some other sections with soaps, collectibles.... worth a visit.

The Fort Augusta Museum is housed in the Northumberland County Historical Society's headquarters, a beautiful brick mansion facing the Susquehanna River built in 1852. The fort was built in 1756-57 as a frontier outpost to protect local residents from Indians and to protect the territory from the French. All the artifacts in this small museum are from archeological digs on the site. There are also letters and documents from the early days of the fort as well as maps of the river and the surrounding important points relative to the fort. The well and powder magazine remain on the grounds. Just across the street from the parking lot is the small grave site of the Hunter family. Many of the graves are marked by American flags indicating the person was a veteran. Some graves date back to the Revolutionary War. It's certainly worth a visit.

Easy to find this mall and there is plenty of parking. Stores have been leaving this mall with Sears, one of the anchors, being the most recent. Hope this is not start of a trend. This is a fairly large mall with lots of good potential. Currently there are really only 2 anchor stores left, with one being Boscovs. Occasionally the mall will have 'mall experiences' but I've seen other malls have those more often and better advertised. There is not a food court but there are restaurants and fast food places thru out.

Awesome place to see a race! I've been there a ton of times over the years. It's gotten a bit pricey but it is still a great time. Worth checking out even if you are not a fan of racing.
