"Fun with the Family"

Model-train enthusiasts will want to stop here to see the Larue Shempp Model Trainexhibition, with more than 300 toy trains and two working layouts—reputed to beone of the finest displays of its kind in the country. There’s a frontier room, which rcreates the furnishings from the county’s first European settlement in 1769; a general store from the turn of the twentieth century; a one-room schoolhouse; a working gristmill; and a collection of farming, blacksmithing, and milling tools from the 1700s to 1900s. You can board the Historic Williamsport Trolley here, too.
