George's Woodcrafts & Turkey Hill Exp.

This morning we headed west to George's Woodcraft's located near Maytown. They make fine wood furniture no plywood or particle board. During the factory tour we saw 5 craftsmen working on various pieces of furniture. They make this amazing dinning table that will open up to 20 ft and it only takes one person to effortlessly do it. From there it was on westward to near East Berlin location of the Outdoor World Gettysburg Farm Campground. We are trying to check out the campgrounds in our membership for future reference. Yesterday we checked out the Hershey Preserve. Both look like very desirable locations for future stays.
On our way back we stopped at the Turkey Hill experience in Columbia. Turkey Hill is a dairy that was started in the late 1800's. They processed their milk and did home deliveries. In later years they started making ice cream and bottling tea. Today there is a Turkey hill convenience store just about every where you look. It looks like they probably are the number 1 gas station convenience store in this area.

It looks like Mom had to milk the cow so Dad could deliver the Ice Cream
