Although it doesn’t look like much from the exterior, our visit to Roadside America Miniature Village near Shartlesville, Pennsylvania, truly was a visit into wonderland. This magical place is so much more than one miniature village, it’s a vast collection of handcrafted miniature villages originally created merely for personal and family enjoyment then eventually opened to the public. It is still owned and run by the originator’s granddaughter. We wandered through marveling at the skillful craftsmanship. Having some personal experience with modeling we were especially wowed at the intricacy and detail of this trip through our nation from Native American villages to 1950’s small towns. And, yes, we learned about it from the Roadside America app!

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
