Besides learning about the Amish and Mennonites, we found some outstanding and
historic restaurants.
The Revere Tavern was built in 1740 by the sister of Stephen Foster. Stephen
Foster wrote several songs while visiting his sister. She was married to
Reverend Edward Buchanan, the brother of President James Buchanan. James
bought the house from Edward before he became president.
Bube's Brewery was built in 1880 and was a working brewery. It was built with
a basement and a sub-basement which were used to are their ale. Mr. Bube died
in the 1930's and he was the only one who knew the ale's formula. So the
brewery went out of business. It is now a restaurant and the sub-basement
is called the Catacombs, where they have their fine dining.
We only paid $2.33 a gallon for gas in Lancaster. Then we topped it off on the
way home in New Milford for $2.53. When we got home we saw that Hess was $2.79.
