The Pennsylvania Mystery That Still Has No Clear Answer

Next time you go hiking in Bucks County, be sure to pack a hammer and don’t be alarmed if you hear eerie sounds coming from deep inside the woods. No, these noises are not made by humans, animals, or even the movement of trees, but rather by a group of stationary boulders that emit a […]

Six Maryland Bowling Alleys Where Duckpin Lanes And Snack Bar Food Haven’t Changed In Decades

Duckpin bowling is about as Maryland as it gets. The balls are small enough to palm, the pins are short and squat, and you get three rolls per frame instead of two. Most of the country never caught on, but a handful of old neighborhood alleys across the state still keep the lanes oiled and the snack bar open. Some still use pencil and paper scoring, and a few look like nobody has moved the furniture since your parents were kids.

Pennsylvania Has 4 Restored Grist Mills Where Water Wheels Still Turn For Visitors

One Pennsylvania mill lets you eat breakfast while a 24-foot water wheel turns on the other side of the glass. I love that detail. It makes pancakes feel like a field trip. That mill is not the only one still at work. Across the state, old wheels keep scooping creek water and spinning heavy stones.

Flowers in the Wilderness: Pennsylvania Dutch Art and Culture

Visitors to the Barnes galleries encounter a puzzling idiosyncrasy: paintings by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso shown next to Pennsylvania German calligraphy, metalwork, and furniture. Why juxtapose “rustic” artifacts of the early Pennsylvania hinterland with masterpieces of the Parisian avant-garde? In this four-session online course, we’ll puzzle through the curious case of Dr. Albert C. Barnes’s important but often overlooked collection of Pennsylvania German material culture, including treasures from Ker-Feal, his former country estate.
