"We came for the folk art show. It was a great little event and we enjoyed looking at the exhibits as well. Its a nice little event space. We would come again for events. I'm not sure that we would come back for a tour though. The event was free. The building is interesting looking from the outside as well."

"I went to Manheim Train Station for two reasons: The first was to look at the Historical site itself and Second to look at the merchandise they were selling for Christmas. They had several craft and trade people. Selling product from a Tinsmith, Woodworkers, Potterer, Antique feather trees, Christmas ornaments and more. I believe they have this once a year and it's the first year I was able to attend."
