Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum Recreates 18th Century Life in Lancaster, PA | Get Out of Town

Описание: Laurita and Lauren take a fascinating journey through history at the Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. This sprawling 100-acre site is not just a museum but a vivid re-creation of a multi-generational Pennsylvania German farm, comprising over 30 buildings each rich with exhibits showcasing 300 years of culture and history.

David Blackburn, the museum's Executive Director, guides the Portees through the grounds, explaining its origins with the Landis family, their Mennonite heritage, and their impact on the area. Then Laura and Laurita transform into Pennsylvania Germans of yesteryear and dive into historical cooking, helping to prepare a meal using 18th-century hearth cooking techniques at the museum’s tavern.
