This authentic one-room schoolhouse was built in 1877 and held classes for close to 100 years. The schoolhouse actually comes to life through the use of Audio-animatronics. Thirty animated students and their teacher will show you what it is like to go to a school where grades one through eight are in the same room. There are the original desks, potbellied stove, blackboards and much more. Sometimes, very little changes in 100 years.
Covered bridges are a Lancaster County symbol.
There are 28 bridges remaining in the county. This bridge, built in 1893, is on the way to Paradise, PA, a small village east of the City of Lancaster. Pennsylvania residents are aware of the importance and history of these old warriors, and care is being taken to preserve them. The longest covered bridge in the world was built in Lancaster County in 1814. It spanned the Susquehanna River, a distance of over one mile.
