just a few thoughts
A
t its peak, Pennsylvania’s fall foliage is a stunning display of nature. Whether it’s on one of the train rides mentioned in our feature, by car, or simply by going for a stroll, I’m always in awe of nature’s ability to impress me. This is the season of pleasant days, bonfires, baking, football, and the best sleeping weather of the year. What’s not to love? On top of that, it’s festival season in PA - a time to celebrate the harvest, as we’ve done for centuries. You’ll find hundreds of fall events throughout this issue. Though they are still separated by region, we’ve added categories to our event listings to make it easier for you to find events that interest you. From the sounds of high school marching bands in early September to family Thanksgiving celebrations in late November, I hope you savor every moment during this special time of the year.

Colebrookdale Railroad
T
he rich history of the railroad in Pennsylvania can’t be denied. Trains fueled the Industrial Revolution, and the commonwealth was a giant. Whether it involved carving their way through mountains or building huge spans connecting gorges, nothing would stop the progress that railroads brought to this country. Thanks to preservation efforts, we can reconnect with the early days of railroading throughout Pennsylvania. Historic railroads in Pennsylvania not only offer this glimpse into the past but provide a unique opportunity to view the beauty of fall onboard a piece of American history.

Adams County
POUR TOUR
L
Legacy is the Main Ingredient
By Wendy Royal
The lush rolling landscape of Adams County is as bucolic as it is fertile. The Adams County Fruit Belt is Pennsylvania’s largest fruit-growing contingency. With its abundance of fresh fruit, it’s no surprise that the production of wine and ciders is also a winner for the county and anyone who tastes them. When I decided to take the Adams County Pour Tour, I was already familiar with most of the wineries. While tasting was a great perk, I was interested in experiencing the production side of the
industry. What I came away with was a great appreciation for the role that family and heritage play in the county’s wineries, breweries, and distilleries - and even more so in the generations of families that are proud to be among the fruit growers of Adams County.
Day One Boyer Cellars
405 Boyer Nursery Road, Biglerville, PA 17307 717-677-8558, boyercellars.com
Three generations of the Boyer family were working at the nursery on the day of our visit. The hard work and commitment that comes with producing the best fruit possible are what makes their wines so special.
It’s only fitting that we began the tour at Boyer Nursery & Orchards in Biglerville, where five generations of the Boyer family have carried on the heritage. When we arrived, we were greeted by Emma Lower, whose great-great-grandfather W.W. Boyer opened the business in 1900. Boyer’s has a total of 1,800 acres with 500 acres in production. Three hundred of those acres are devoted to apple orchards. Cherries are Boyer Orchards’ second-largest crop, with apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums, and pears also sharing the acreage. The fruit market is open from cherry season (mid to late June) to Christmas. In addition to fruit, the market has a variety of fresh vegetables, jams, jel-
lies, honey, and locally made pottery. Since 2010, Great Shoals Winery in Maryland has been purchasing fruit from Boyer for its ciders and fruit wine. The partnership between the two led to the opening of Boyer Cellars, located at Boyer Nurseries’ garden center. The tasting room features a pleasant atmosphere with ample seating and a reclaimed chestnut wood bar. You can sample a variety of traditional and sparkling wines as well as Boyer’s popular hard ciders. Northern Spy, a dry still cider made with Boyer’s Northern Spy apples, is a best seller and perfect in the fall. Boyer Cellars has indoor and outdoor seating with great views of the countryside.
Boyer Cellars Tasting Room: Fri., 2 pm – 8 pm; Sat., Noon – 8 pm; Sun., Noon – 6pm. Fruit market: Mon. – Sat., 7 am – 5 pm; Sun., Noon – 5 pm. (see website for fruit in season)
Adams County Winery
Farm Winery: 251 Peach Tree Road, Orrtanna, PA 17353 717-334-4631, adamscountywinery.com Gettysburg Wine Shop: 25 Chambersburg St., Gettysburg, PA 17325 717-334-1381, adamscountywinery.com About 15 minutes southwest of Biglerville in the town of Orrtanna is where you’ll find one of the oldest operating wineries in Pennsylvania. Upon arriving at Adams County Winery, we were greeted with a tantalizing smell. The aroma was coming from the Italian wood-fired pizza oven of the Terrace Bistro, which is located on the large patio in front of the winery. The outdoor bistro, surrounded by lush landscaping and lovely seasonal flowers, is a pleasant place to have lunch. After enjoying a delicious lunch, which for me included more than one slice of pesto pizza, we headed into the winery tasting room. Inside the site’s1860s bank barn, the friendly staff members were happy to introduce us to their award-winning wines. I sampled the Twisted Thicket, a sweet wine made with a blend of Concord, Niagara, and blackberry. I also tried the Rebel Red, which is Adams County Winery’s most popular red wine, and I can see why. It tasted like a grape right off the vine. And finally, I had to sample the hallmark wine, Tears of Gettysburg, which the winery has been producing for more than 30 years. Adams County Winery owners Katherine Bigler and her husband, John Kramb, are celebrating 20 years in the winemaking business this year. On Tuesday, Oct. 1, to celebrate the anniversary,
Freshly baked brick-oven pizza, from the Terrace Bistro, paired with wine from Adams County Winery made for a very memorable lunch.
the winery is bringing back one its most requested wines from the past, Fireside Memories. The semi-sweet blend of Vidal and local cherries also features a hint of Cabernet Sauvignon. Fireside Memories has a limited-time release and will only be around while supplies last. Farm Winery tasting room hours: Mon. – Sun., 10 am – 6 pm. Gettysburg Wine Shop hours: Sun., Noon – 5 pm; Mon. – Thurs., Noon – 6 pm; Fri. – Sat., 11 am – 8 pm.
Thirsty Farmer Brew Works
290 Cashtown Road, Biglerville, PA 17307 717-334-3325, thirstyfarmer.com Like Boyer Cellars, Thirsty Farmer Brew Works also is located in Biglerville. Though the brewery is fairly new, the Knouse family, which owns it, has been farming the land in Biglerville for
four generations. Every year after the harvest, about 20 members of the Knouse family would take a vacation together. As the cousins got older, the vacations tended to include brewery tours. Kevin Knouse explained that his father and uncle had been home brewing for 30 years before they opened the brewery in 2015. The Knouses renovated an old shop shed and turned it into the Thirsty Farmer Brew Works. You’ll find a good variety of ales and lagers, as well as wheat beer, Chocolate Porter, and hard ciders that range from dry to sweet. The family’s own hops and apples are used in the beer and cider. The menu at Thirsty Farmer showcases fresh ingredients grown on the farm and meats family members smoke themselves. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Located across the street is the Historic Round Barn & Farm Market. The rare round barn was built in 1914 by Noah Sheely. It was built to house cows, horses, and mules. The Knouse family bought the iconic structure in 1984. Today, the market features fresh produce, baked goods, jams, jellies, and sauces. The Round Barn may also be rented for special events. After outdoor ceremonies, wedding receptions take place inside the barn. The
The Knouse family prides themselves as being farmers first and foremost, and proudly grow the hops that are used in the brews at Thirsty Farmer Brew Works. Across the street from the Thirsty Farmer is the Historic Round Barn which houses a farmers’ market and a second-story event facility. It is one of only a handful of such structures standing today.
n
highly vaulted second story provides one of the most unique and stunning venues you’re likely to find. The landmark is registered with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Thirsty Farmer hours: Thurs., 4 pm – 9 pm; Fri. – Sat., 11 am to 10 pm; Sun., Noon – 7 pm. Historic Round Barn hours: (Late April – Dec. 1) Fri. – Sun., 9 am – 5 pm.
Center Square Brewing
The Altland House, 1 Center Square, Abbottstown, PA 17301 717-259-9535, altlandhouse.com/centersquare-brewing
brews using local ingredients whenever possible. Center Square offers four rotating drafts and a rotating seasonal brew along with pub food at a table or the bar. One of the brewery’s most popular brews is the German Chocolate Stout. I tried the 1763 Lager, which I found very tasty. Then I decided to step out of my craft beer comfort zone. After all, isn’t
To say that the Altland House Grill & Brewery in Abbottstown has been a town staple for years is an understatement. The iconic restaurant and brewery were built as a tavern in 1763. It is among the oldest continuously operating taverns in the U.S. Three generations of the Hough family have owned and operated the restaurant. In the 1920s and ’30s, the only dish on the menu was chicken and waffles. Altland House still serves its famous chicken and waffles along with a full menu of delicious classic and seasonal offerings. It was said to have been the favorite restaurant of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, whose farm in Gettysburg is open to visitors. Center Square Brewing is located in the lower level of the Altland House. The lower level of the Altland House is where you’ll find The three-barrel brewhouse Center Square Brewing. A cozy speakeasy-style room produces handcrafted with tables and a bar allow guests to grab a bite to eat along with a great craft brew.
that what tasting is all about? I had a bit of the John Abbott Alt, which had twice the IBUs as the lager I had already tasted. I just can’t seem to turn myself in a hoppy girl, but my companions enjoyed it very much; in fact, they went on to try the STB Double IPA. Overall, we had a fun evening in a great laid-back atmosphere. Soon it was time to head back to the Gettysburg Hotel, where my very comfortable accommodations were waiting.
Dew settles on the grapes in the Halbrendt Vineyards on mid-August morning grapes.
Center Square Brewing hours: Wed. – Thurs., 4 pm – 10 pm; Fri. -Sat., 4 pm – 11 pm. Altland House hours: Mon. – Sat., 11 am – 9 pm; Sun., 11 am – 8 pm.
Day Two Halbrendt Vineyard & Winery
1150 Evergreen Way, Orrtanna, PA 17353 717-334-7784, halbrendtwinery.com
For John and Noemi Halbrendt, the journey to Halbrendt Vineyard and Winery in Orrtanna was anything but traditional yet made perfect sense. The two worked at Penn State University Fruit Research & Extension Center when they acquired the land that now is home to nearly five acres of grapes. “The vineyard was not our grand plan; we just wanted to live closer to nature,” stated Noemi, who developed a successful sustainable vineyard pest management program that produces high-quality fruit. Before opening the winery, John, a nematologist, won several medals in international amateur wine competitions.
After he retired from Penn State in 2014, the garage was converted to a commercial winery, and John was no longer simply an award-winning wine hobbyist. Halbrendt Vineyard consists of four acres of hybrid European and native American grapes and one acre of viniferous grapes. The small winery has no employees. When asked how they manage the harvest, John explained, “We have many friends and great neighbors. So, when we’re ready for harvest, we put out the word and people come.” Since both are plant pathologists, they know that fine wines are created in the vineyard. The Halbrendts use sustainable methods in tending their vines. They hand-pick and hand-sort the grapes so that only the very best fruit goes in the crusher. What I really enjoyed about this tour was how John and Noemi’s passion for the process and product shone through as they spoke to us. There is a quaint patio outside to sit and enjoy a glass of Frisky Blush, which was my pick of the day. A short walk up the lane leads to an open grassy picnic area. It was here that we had a wonderful breakfast overlooking the vineyard. Halbrendt’s Regular Tasting hours: Fri. – Sun., 11 am – 6 pm. Other hours: the tasting room is open when the Halbrendts are working in the winery. Call for availability.
Reid’s Orchard & Winery
Home Winery Tasting Room: 2135 Buchanan Valley Road, Orrtanna, PA 17353 (closed for the 2019 season for renovation) Tasting Room and Cider House: 400 Baltimore St., Gettysburg, PA 17325 717-677-7047, reidsorchardwinery.com
Fine wines begin in the vineyard is the philosophy shared by Noemi and John Halbrendt.
Reid’s is located in the beautiful Buchanan Valley of Adams County. Reid’s Orchard has 100 acres of fruit, which is parsed out equally with apples, peaches, grapes, and berries. The story of this winery is like the old adage “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” About a decade ago in August, a huge hailstorm blew through the Buchanan Valley, damaging the fruit to the point where it wasn’t marketable. Today, you can find “ugly” fruit in markets at a reduced price, but at the time there wasn’t a market for it. So, what do you do with an orchard full of damaged but edible fruit? You make wine. Today, Reid’s makes red, white, and fruit wines in addition to hard ciders. Although I didn’t sample any wines on this visit, I am fond of Reid’s Red. I was there to sample the Black Bear Hard Cider, of which I had heard great reviews. Reid’s has seven varieties of cider on a regular basis and a total of 15 when it offers seasonal selections. The cider flight I chose included Peach, Sweet Scarlet, JD (aged one year in Jack Daniels’ barrels), Country Bear, and Apple Grape. They were all very tasty, but my favorites were the Peach and Apple Grape ciders.
d
s s , s a m t ” t . l e d s e f s r e d e e
David Reid, owner of Reid’s Orchard & Winery explained how a devastating storm turned him a winemaker. The amazing views from the home winery make you almost forget that there is a flavorful cider flight before you.
This winery had the best view that I had seen on the Adams County Pour Tour. There is an outdoor seating area behind the tasting room, where sweeping views of the orchard are before you. Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic lunch to go with their wine and cider purchases. Reid’s Home Winery Tasting Room hours: (Weekends from May through December) The winery does not offer tours, but Reid’s staff are happy to explain their wine-making process. Reid’s Winery Cider House hours: Sun. – Thurs., Noon – 6 pm; Fri., Noon – 10 pm; Sat., Noon – 10:30 pm.
Mason Dixon Distillery
331 E. Water St., Gettysburg, PA 17325 717-398-3385, masondixondistillery.com My final stop on my two-day Adams County Pour Tour journey was Mason Dixon Distillery. Like every other location I visited, the family is key in this endeavor. George and Yianni Barakos are the father and son duo behind the distillery. While the Barakos roots are in Greece, George was the first generation of the family to be born in the U.S. Yianni, who was our tour guide, shared how he built his first still in the family garage at the age of 11 and nearly burned the house down. From then on, Yianni would hone his distilling skills outside. You might be asking yourself how an 11-year-old would even know how to build a still. His grand-
Father and son, George and Yianni Barakos toast to their awardwinning grain to glass spirits. As with the other Pour Tour locations, family and heritage play a very important role in the smallbatch spirits they produce.
father, who distilled his own tsipouro (a Greek spirit often referred to as grappa), made Yianni a sketch of a still. After an apprenticeship in West Virginia, Yianni set off to open his own commercial distillery. Father and son purchased an old furniture factory in Gettysburg and took a year and a half rehabbing it. The old factory may have a new life, but the duo was careful to keep the old character of the building. While Yianni is the distiller, George is in charge of the restaurant. Before putting all his efforts in the new family endeavor, George owned three successful restaurants in Lancaster County. The restaurant is styled after a German beer hall, which I found to be very inviting. The kitchen uses locally sourced ingredients (some from its own large garden on-site) in its dishes when they are available. The menu offerings are comfort food from around the world. On this tour, we learned about the distilling process from grain to bottle. Everything is made on-site. The grain is grown on the Trostle Farm located on the Gettysburg Battlefield. The distillery
produces corn whiskey, vodka, and rum. The distillery is currently working on perfecting its gin and genever recipes. Craft cocktails using Mason Dixon spirits are available in the restaurant and bar. Mason Dixon Distillery Tours: By appointment or Wed. – Sat., Noon – 4 pm every hour on the hour; Sun., call for availability. Restaurant Hours: Mon. – Tues., closed; Wed. – Thurs., Noon – 9:30 pm Fri. – Sat., Noon – 10:30 pm Sunday Brunch, 11 am – 3 pm.

By Morgan Christopher
A
merican architect Louis Sullivan (1856-1924) offered an observation about buildings of his time period that rings true today: “What people are within, the buildings express without.” This statement succinctly reflects the wonder a visitor will discover when touring the majestic Bryn Athyn Historic District in Montgomery County, once home to the Pitcairn family. The district, located across from Bryn Athyn College, is home to three National Historic Landmarks: Cairnwood Estate, Glencairn Museum and Bryn Athyn Cathedral. These meticulously preserved sites, connected by lush grounds filled with 50 specimens of trees, offer visitors and fans of history and culture a magnificent destination to discover in southeastern
Pennsylvania’s beautiful countryside. Cairnwood Estate, completed in 1895 by Pittsburgh Plate Glass industrialist John Pitcairn, is the only existing Beaux-Arts style home in Pennsylvania. Designed by the firm Carrére and Hastings (known internationally for their work on The New York Public Library), this property today is open to the public for tours. Offered Tuesday through Sunday, tours share the story of the estate and the history of the Pitcairn family, as well as offer a peek into the everyday world of what life was like for people in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Reflective of the life of John Pitcairn and his strongly held beliefs, the estate expresses the man’s life and contributions to the local community. Visitors will learn that after 1979,
Photo collage by Bryn Athyn Historic District
the house sat empty for over a decade until renovations and updates began, which earned the property the landmark status that Cairnwood Estate enjoys today. Tours begin in the Garden House (Gift Shop) and pro-
ceed to the carriage house, gardens, and main house (including the chapel and service wing). The house also hosts private events like weddings and parties. The grounds were designed by “father of American landscape architecture” FredPhoto by Morgan Christopher erick Law Olmsted and his partner, Charles Eliot. The property’s winding paths, sculpted gardens and the Founded as a religious community in the late 19th century, the Bryn Athyn Historic District was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2008. The buildings, gardens and grounds are open today for tours, private functions and seasonal events.
surrounding forest make it an idyllic destination not only for tours, but as a site for special events throughout the year. The holidays bring added activity as Cairnwood Estate transforms into a celebration of a Gilded Age Christmas. Glencairn Museum (completed in 1939), once the home to son Raymond Pitcairn and his family, now operates as a not-for-profit museum featuring permanent collections of religious art and history. Pieces housed at the museum include medieval Christian, Asian, Egyptian, Greek and Roman works as well as Native American art. The museum’s mission - to share the common human endeavor of finding higher meaning and purpose in our lives - reflects the historic religious theme one discovers touring Bryn Athyn Historic District; the community honors ties to the New Church, a Christian movement inspired by the teachings of theologian Emanuel Swedenborg. Changing exhibitions at Glencairn Museum highlight themes that celebrate many of our shared stories as Pennsylvanians. Currently on display in the museum is an exhibition showcasing the traditions of the Pennsylvania Dutch. “Hex Signs: Sacred and Celestial Symbolism in Pennsylvania Dutch Barn Stars,” curated by Patrick Dunmoyer, is on display through Sunday, Nov. 3. In November, and through year’s end, the Glencairn Museum plays host to an exhibition of World Nativities, featuring pieces from the museum’s private collection
as well as pieces on loan from collectors. The museum offers guided tours for both individuals and groups. Visitors who enjoy touring on their own can use cellphones for a guided tour that offers history and information at various stops throughout the property. In addition to the collections displayed throughout Glencairn Museum, I would encourage visitors to make a point to see the magnificent stained glassed windows in the Great Hall, of note for their unique design and intricate craftsmanship. The third site for visitors to tour is Bryn Athyn Cathedral. Dedicated in 1919, this stately Gothic and Romanesque-style church continues to serve as a house of worship for those celebrating the rites of the New Church. Tours include points of interest like the Chancel, Small Chapel, West Door and Social Hall, each filled with examples of spiritual symbolism reflected in their ornate design. The gardens at Bryn Athyn Cathedral change with each season, offering beautiful displays throughout the year. The Northern Shade Garden, Chapel Gardens and the Terraces are specific points of interest to stop and enjoy. To plan a visit to celebrate the art, architecture and lifestyle of the more genteel period of the Gilded Age, find information at www.BAHistoricDistirct.org. Note: There is no restaurant on-site, and properties are closed Mondays.
Looking Ahead: Christmas in the Bryn Athyn Historic District During the month of December, tour all three of the National Historic Landmarks decked in their holiday finery.

Site of a Battle That Helped Shape a Nation
Meet George Washington
ot the white-haired, dollar-bill, first N POTUS George Washington. Not the Founding Father and figurehead of the American Revolution. Think instead of a young, gallant 20-something with dreams of becoming a British officer. That’s the George Washington you’ll meet at Fort Ligonier, a British fortification from the French and Indian War located in Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands that served as a staging area for the Forbes Expedition of 1758. Washington and his unique story are part of a recently completed $8.2 million expansion, renovation and restoration project at the fort and museum at Fort Ligonier that gives visitors a different look at the man who’d become the nation’s first president. “The visitor gets to know the George Washington they’ve never known before,” explained Julie Donovan, director of marketing and public relations for Fort Ligonier. “Our gallery really tells the story of what led up to the American Revolution.”
By Cara O’Donnell
The Washington Gallery takes visitors back to the 1750s to meet the young George Washington, who at the time fought for the British to expel the French from North America. The gallery includes everything from the young soldier’s saddle pistols (a gift from the Marquis de Lafayette) to his commissioned paint-

forge to a smokehouse and Pennsylvania hospital of the time. After exploring the original footprint of the fort itself, the storytelling comes alive at the accompanying Fort Ligonier Museum, which was significantly enhanced during the recent expansion project. In addition to the Washington Gallery, the History Gallery tells the story of the fort through a unique collection of artifacts uncovered at the site during various archaeological projects - from a collection of weaponry of the time to the common items that may have been used during everyday life at the fort. Other galleries include an art gallery, with an incredible collection of original works from the 18th and 19th centuries, and a gallery looking at global views of the Seven Years’ War. The fort’s Center for History Education, added as part of the recent campaign, hosts numerous school field trips and educational seminars throughout the
year, providing offerings ranging from guided tours and teaching materials to demonstrations and hands-on experiences on everything from corn grinding to candle dipping and quill pen writing. But there’s perhaps no better time to visit than during Fort Ligonier Days (www. fortligonierdays.com), now in its 60th year. The annual event, which this year will take place on Friday through Sunday, Oct. 11 to 13, commemorates the Battle of Fort Ligonier with a series of dramatic battle re-enactments, artillery demonstrations and re-enactors to commemorate the Oct. 12, 1758, French and Indian War Battle of Fort Ligonier. Fort Ligonier Days has even expanded well beyond the boundaries of the fort itself to include the entire town of Ligonier, where throughout the weekend visitors can experience arts and crafts, music, a parade, and plenty of historical demonstrations to celebrate Ligonier’s unique heritage.
From battle re-enactments and demonstrations of colonial life to standing at the edge of the fort’s artillery looking out over the hillside, the experiences of Fort Ligonier teach visitors about an era of colonialism that may be an entirely new experience. And they might just see a whole new side of George Washington. Go to whereandwhen. com/articles/fort-ligonier for hours and to plan a visit.
