Mifflinburg Buggy Museum        April 1 - Oct. 30, 2012    Mifflinburg, Union County

The Mifflinburg Buggy Museum added two new activities for children!  In the Visitor Center, children (of all ages) can "build a miniature buggy."  For $5.00, you receive the body and you can select the parts to make a wagon with sides, a sleigh, or a surrey. You can upholster your seats and add a top. Adult supervision is needed.  The Visitor Center also has a hands-on workbench with toys for younger children, coloring pages, and tools for older children. There is an introductory video and exhibit on buggy making.  Visitors can also take a guided tour of  the historic buildings:  the Heiss family home, the original Coach Works (buggy factory) and the showroom.  School age children are given a handout and during the tour they can look for 10 items within the buildings -- if they find all 10, they get to choose a small prize.

Open Thurs.-Saturdays, 10am-5pm, and Sundays 1-5 pm.  Admission fees for 2011 are $10.00 for adults (includes the Visitor Center and guided tour of historic buildings); $5.00 for children (5 - 15), children under 5 and Museum members are free.  They offer AAA, AARP, Access discouts.  They also have a family ticket.  Visitors can do just the Visitor Center for $3.00 (adults), $1.50 for children.  Parking is free, restrooms available.
