Well, on Friday I was looking at event listings and read that there was going to be an open house on Saturday at the "Vintage Village of Millersville" on Oranda road, Strasburg. Oh, that's it! So we went.
The chapel is furnished with pews, a wood stove, and some antiques. Other buildings also have antiques plus unique pieces that the owner crafted from found items.
The owner is a collector and apparently an inventor. He and his family created the assemblage of buildings to hold his collections. Once a year he holds an open house so that the community can enjoy his village!
There was quite an array of things to see. Our hosts had even arranged a cookout and music for their guests to enjoy!
Our host gave a tour. The variety and cleverness here is almost overwhelming.
And here's Oranda Road. It skirts the limestone quarries and goes out in the country.

...Linda, what a find, it pays to drive down backroads! Thanks for sharing all of this eye candy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and interesting place to visit. Looks like there is a lot to see there.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun...and I can see the owner is pretty proud of his creations!
ReplyDeleteHow fun ! It would feel like a perfect visit to a childhood dream. The owner is certainly talented and dedicated! I’d love to visit in person, and your tour is the next best thing.
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool. I don’t understand people like this who build and operate such things but I am glad they do because it sure makes life a little more interesting for the rest of us.
