March 2008, Centralia PA
Photos and comments by Pamela King

My husband, daughter and I went on March 14, 2008. It was our first time there and I most certainly plan on going back. That place was amazing and I spent almost a full day there walking around. I just wanted to send you guys some pictures since you were the reason we went. Your website was so intriguing that I just had to go and see it myself.

Sincerely,
Pamela King
