Saturday, October 11 

Morning of touring into Chester County with a morning stop at the American Helicopter Museum. After our visit to the museum, we will pass through historic West Chester en route to Stargazer Winery. Lunch will be on your own, and we have identified three potential lunch stops, all with unique character and offerings. From the winery, we will head north while passing an excellent ice cream stop! Dinner on Saturday evening is on your own. 75 miles of driving. 

Sunday, October 12 

We head west into Lancaster County to Harvest Days Celebration at the Landis Valley Farm Museum. This is the 100th anniversary Harvest Days – and the museum is excited to host us. The plan will be to park our cars in and around the village. They will have food trucks on sight, so lunch will be on your own today. From Landis Valley, we will head back towards Morgantown with an ice cream stop in Ephrata. Dinner will be at the hotel in the large ballroom because after dinner we will have our third annual Pinewood Derby as a Fund Raiser for the Museum of the Horseless Carriage. Bring your BSA approved racers for a fun evening event. Prizes will be awarded! The hotel bar will also be open! Total mileage of 80 miles. 

Monday, October 13 

Leisurely morning drive through Amish farmland to a coffee stop at Petersheim’s Upholstery shop in Nickel Mines. We will also likely have stop at an Amish wheelwrights shop close to Nickel Mines. From there we will travel to our buffet lunch at Yoder’s in New Holland! No ice cream stop on the way back to the hotel on this shorter tour day. Total mileage of 65 miles. 

Tour will again be limited to 45 cars. 

Parking for trailers and rigs will be at the hotel.
