Spend the day enjoying two memorable experiences that showcase Pennsylvaniaโ€™s landscape and history.

The Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad Preservation Society and the Susquehanna National Heritage Area, Zimmerman Center, Rails to River Excursion returns this year.

Guests can tour the historic Zimmerman House, then enjoy a cruise aboard the Chief Uncas, a beautifully restored 1912 electric boat, where quiet waters, wooded shoreline, and sweeping views reveal the story of the Susquehanna along Lake Clarke.

At Muddy Creek Forks, theyโ€™ll ride the storied Ma & Pa Railroad and tour the general store, mill, and grain elevator โ€“ enduring reminders of a place that served as a busy commercial center for the region in 1915.

Lunch is included in the ticket price and will be enjoyed at Ma & Pa Railroad Heritage Village beneath the trees beside the more than century-old general store.

Enjoy the history of Pennsylvania!

Tickets are very limited and can be purchased from our website:
