Who’s ready for a weekend of adventure? If you are looking for a place to explore, check out the White Cliffs of Conoy along the Northwest River Trail. Nearby there are ruins on both sides of the trail.

I have been repeatedly asked if I knew anything about the mysterious foundations along the Pequea Creek near the Colemanville Covered Bridge on Fox Hollow Road. You might be surprised to discover that Colemanville once had its own hydroelectric dam. Click the bio link in the profile to read everything I learned.

"The Path of God - Only in the leap from the lion's head will he prove his worth."

Dive into the past with the latest piece from @lancvice's "Sex and Our City" series with this 'Dancing At Brinkman Hall' article! Explore the riveting 1914 battle over dance halls in Lancaster and discover why the city council rejected an ordinance aimed at banning immoral dancing and barring "known prostitutes." Why did these spaces stir such controversy? Click the bio link in the profile to find out! https://unchartedlancaster.com/lancaster-vice-dancing-at-brinkman-hall/

Dive into the enigmatic world of Lititz with @coryvb, President of the @lititzmuseum, in his latest book, 'Mysterious Lititz: Ghosts, True Crime, UFOs, and More.' Click the bio link to read a chapter titled "The Lititz Mystery Spot," about a so-called bottomless pit” that dates back to at least 1906. Plus, find out how you can get a copy of the book and learn about the upcoming book signing event on Sunday, May 26th, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Lititz Museum. Whether you're a local history buff or simply love a good mystery, Mysterious Lititz promises to intrigue and entertain. https://unchartedlancaster.com/mysterious-lititz-bottomless-pit/

Bundling. Beds and inns were scarce during colonial days, so householders often permitted strangers to sleep with family members. This courtesy was extended to army officers traveling between forts, the old peddler, the minister, the doctor, and the candidate for office. Strangers who bunked together did so fully clothed or "Bundled up," hence the term "bundling" for the custom.
