• Walk to the Lancaster Science Factory, a hands-on interactive science, technology, engineering, and mathematics center. It’s a perfect place for families to explore the world of science and have fun in make-it-yourself workshops.

• Browse through nearby Demuth Museum, former home of artist Charles Demuth, a lifelong Lancaster resident who studied art in Pennsylvania and Paris and became a major contributor to the Precisionist art movement. He became renowned for the beauty of his watercolors, and the modernist, Cubism-influenced paintings he produced to honor his famous friends like Georgia O'Keeffe and William Carlos Williams. He also used the city of Lancaster's modest architecture as his subject in hundreds of watercolors and paintings.

• Visit the Rock Ford Plantation, the 18th-century home of Revolutionary War General Edward Hand, Adjutant General to George Washington. It's the most intact building predating 1800 in Lancaster County, and one of the most important surviving examples of Georgian domestic architecture in Pennsylvania. There are guided tours available seven months of the year, and there are special events held all year long.
