Featured Antiques
Lightening Rod With Translucent Glass Bulb
These particular lightening rods would
line the top of barns and be used to draw the electrical charge from lightening away from the structure. The rods were then connected to a copper cable that would drive the charge into the ground - leaving the structure unharmed. The beautiful glass bulbs were just a pretty decorative addition.
Stop by to see or buy this, as well as other antiques!

Out Of The Past
According to
The Lititz Record Express,
110 Years Ago
May 26, 1905
Trolley Notes - You can now go from Lancaster to Ready by trolley by changing cars at Adamstown. It takes about two-and-a-half hours to make the trip.
120 Years Ago
May 31, 1895
Typhoid Epidemic Starts at Owl Hill? - There is an epidemic of typhoid fever in Lancaster. As it is evidently due to impure water, the Water Committee of Councils decided to have the city water analyzed by a chemist, and instructed the Mayor to have all persons arrested who pollute the streams from which the supply is drawn. Some go so far as to state that the pollution arises from a small stream near Owl Hill, Warwick township, where P.D. Michael as a glue factory.
130 Years Ago
May 29, 1885
"Mum" - The mum sociable given at this place on Monday evening by the young ladies of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, proved to be grand success. There were about one hundred present, and owing to the rare novelty of the programme, all enjoyed themselves to the same extent as would a half-starved wretch devouring a highly seasoned custard pie.
