York Visitors Guide 2008

National Watch and Clock Museum, located just across the Susquehanna River, houses the largest and most comprehensive assortment of timepieces in North America. The museum’s acclaimed collection features more than 12,000 items. As you move through the exhibits, imagine who carried that 300-year-old English pocket watch now on display, or wonder which royal mantelpiece once held the elaborate, circa-1780 shelf clock created by Jean Andre Lepaute, whose favor among French royalty earned him the nickname “Clockmaker to the King.” After reflecting on the past, take a little more time to unwind with an art gallery visit, trip to the spa or snack break that features locally made munchies. Boutiques, factory outlets, antiques shops and farm markets are scattered throughout the area. You’ll find everything from hand-etched glassware in various patterns at the Susquehanna Glass Factory to fresh York Valley Cheeses at Flinchbaugh’s Orchard & Farm Market. Delicious meals and top-notch musicals get rave reviews at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre in nearby Lancaster County. Meanwhile, touring Broadway productions and big-name personalities such as illusionist David Copperfield and bluegrass star Ricky Skaggs entertain in downtown York at the historic Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center. The Strand-Capitol, York’s cultural gem, also shows a variety of films from foreign to indie to classic. Whether your night is drawing to a close or just beginning, stop by a York County pub or tavern, where scrumptious food and assorted spirits are only part of the charm. Look over the impressive martini menu at The Left Bank Restaurant, or try the “Beer of the Month” at Cobblestone’s Restaurant & Sports Emporium. When it’s time to end the day, think back to all you discovered and get ready for more.
