Experience a piece of history when you visit Cornwall Iron Furnace. Learn about one of the earliest blast iron furnaces in the country by taking a tour of the iron furnace and going through the museum. The museum has artifacts within the building that serves as the best surviving example of early Pennsylvania ironworks. For more history, enjoy a relaxing walk or drive by the beautiful park that is home to Indiantown Gap National Cemetery, the largest monument of Veteran’s National Cemeteries. The Isaac Meier Homestead was built in 1740 and will give you another glimpse back into Lebanon’s history. The house is an example of the city’s old architecture and is also the site of an annual fair in the fall complete with food, crafts and demonstrations of life from a time long gone. Spend some time outdoors by packing a picnic basket and heading to Union Canal Tunnel. Take a boat ride through the oldest transportation tunnel in the United States. If you’re here in the summer, be sure to catch the summer festivals with music, food and activities for everyone!
If you’d rather be more active, walk, bike or go horseback riding on the Lebanon Valley Rails to Trails, which stretches 12.5 miles from the south side of the city to the village of Lawn. From parks to historical locations and museums galore, you’re sure to have something do during every minute of your trip to this fine city.
