What happen to the museum??
I just found an old lightning guider sled in my dad's shed. I'm not sure of the age or worth, but I was going to look into it. I want to also visit this museum soon. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately the museum closed down last year
@corytheexplorer I just saw that when I looked it up. I'm down in York Pa and it's only less than an hour away. I wanted to go see it. It read permanently closed. That's sad, it looked really cool!
I was at this Amish carriage maker shop today. I know the owner. And he was not real happy about this video being on TH-cam if you know anything about the Amish, they do not like an Internet presence
The day we were there, he gave us permission to shoot photos and video.
Cory, Can you please let me know how to contact you? I am interested in the replica Lincoln Highway Markers in Lancaster Pennsylvania. Thank you.

Cool museum and I really enjoyed watching it. New subscriber here from #RTBL
Thanks much and thanks for watching!
love the historical places
Cool place! Thanks for posting!! 🎃👻🎃👻
Secret passage, not a secret anymore lol
Wow 🤩 this bike museum looks amazing 👍
Yoo Cory what’s up man
How kenai get conta
En qué localidad se encuentra este lugar
the amish are laughing at us all the way to the bank
For that price I can buy three used cars! That is steep!
Didn't need the crap music!!!
Very interesting. Wish this clip had been much longer
As someone from Lancaster, Pa that was neat. I read the comments and anyone knows pop or soda, buggy or carriages. I'm sure the brown buggy Amish from Ohio call it pop. Grow up people. You did show the pick up truck buggy or the open dating model.
Cos the re beautifull
I like menonite women. Golden. Angel
This is TH-cam. I was expecting a video, not a PowerPoint.
And yet, here I am…with a VIDEO with 33,000 views. Go figure.
Also, they did not allow us to record video inside.
@@corytheexplorer well you can call it whatever you want, but there's not one second of video footage in this presentation, ergo it's not a video. By the way, the Amish call them "carriages", not "buggies".
Anything else you’d like to add?
You got it for free! Quit your whining!
Amazed they left you in the shop.
Normally they don’t but this was a prearranged tour with permission.
The horse probably costs more than the buggy.
The horse go anywhere from $500 to $3000- Most of the horses they use are Standardbreds ( harness racing ) Morgan's and even Quarter Horses - the harness goes a good $500 - 1500-
A narration would be nice, captions often hard to read, music sucks
But how do you really feel? Be honest….
It, the video is poor, as I stated before
👍💐
How do they recharge the batteries fot the head lights and marker light?
By solar energy
@@corytheexplorer then why not put that in the video ?
@@mitchellchandler3689 that done by the owner after purchase
@@corytheexplorer but still one would think that that might be a good thing to know... and why is the company so cheap that they don't offer that anyway as an option
@@mitchellchandler3689 They don't offer it as an option, because it happens at the home. Most plain folk in the area of the video have at least a small solar setup on the roof of their home or barn. If they are doing any manufacturing, or services, on the homestead, which could be anything from heavy steel fabrication to building roll top desks or wishing wells, they typically run a large generator to provide electric power. Dairy farmers have the same generators, since they have to process and cool raw milk to standards, so it can legally be sold and hauled away. 120 V electricity is far from unusual for the Amish, the difference is that it does not come from the power lines, to the home.
What is the ball park figure as to the cost of an Amish buggy? Just curious.
Approximately $9,000
@@corytheexplorer Thank you Cory
@@corytheexplorer More then that because of the horses.
Mendes machine?
I saw some electric powered tools there.
Powered by either solar or batteries
@@corytheexplorer Doesnt matter, its still the dark arts as far as the amish is concerned. As for everyone else, I couldnt give a crap if your shop was powered by coal burners making electricity. I'm immune to virtue signaling.
@@corytheexplorer That's fukin cheating mate we don't use any batteries in my community's factory
They do get permission from their Decons ( Pastors) to use electricity
@@ThunderAppeal I live down the road from this shop. Your comment "dark arts" is absurd. They are huge users of battery powered tools and devices. The Amish run farm supply right down the road will sell you hundreds of battery powered tools, from chain saws and drills to table lamps. Great place to buy and repair tools. The issue is not being directly tied to the "english" with power, phone, and internet line, NOT refusing to use power tools. They will never deny using phones, cell phones, electric power, solar power, generator power, etc.... It is the outsiders who decide that the lifestyle the Amish live fails to meet THEIR standards, not the standards of the plain folks. Everything in the community is a local decision. The big settlement in Holmes county OH is awash in $2-3K electric bicycles. Most of the Lancaster plain folks are not allowed to pedal a bike and use kick scooters. Within a mile of my home there are Amish that harvest hay like it's 1500 AD, there are others that sub it out to custom harvesters, who show up with a million dollars worth of equipment, and do the entire farm in a few hours. I have Amish neighbors who use standard rubber tire tractors, steel wheeled tractors, and other Amish that will never allow a tractor on their fields.
How old is the design of today's buggy?
These are rubberband duckpins, not standard duckpins. The standard ones do not have a rubberband around the pins. The bowler gets 3 balls per frame, not the 2 that rubberband bowlers get. Also, standard duckpins do not use strings on the pins or string pinsetters to set up their pins. Finally, there have been perfect 300 games bowled in rubberband ducks, but not in standard duckpins. High men's duckpin game is 279. For the women, high duckpin game is 265.
Thanks for the added info!
@@corytheexplorer Most welcome. Don't know where you live, but, if you can, come to Maryland, Connecticut, or Rhode Island sometime and try duckpins.
@@jackmiller9310 Thanks! I live in Pennsylvania
@@corytheexplorer If you're in Western Pa., you can still find duckpins in the Hagerstown, Md.area. Dual Lanes is on US 40, just a little East of Hagerstown. Southside is off of US 70 a little bit south of Hagerstown.
@@jackmiller9310 You can also try Duckpins in the Philippines, its way more popular here than in America. It’s pretty much just Standard Duckpins except if you’re the type of person loves cooling with Air conditioners, well majority of Filipino Duckpin Centers doesn’t have them, not only that the Lanes are also very old and majority of Duckpin Centers are PinBoys while only few have Sherman Pinsetters which it gives opportunity for Poor People to get a bit of income and also extending the business lifespan.
Carriages, guys, not buggies. It would be interesting to compare the same statistics with the open buggies .
There are both Amish buggies AND carriages in Lancaster County, PA
@@corytheexplorer True. But they only showed the carriages here. I rode in, and drove, both. For many years. 😇
Amish don’t use the word carriage . We say buggy
@@J52d-g Don't put all of us in one box. I know what I'm talking about. 😉 Carriages have a roof. Buggies are open. 😇
@@imonthewinningside8281 that’s great and you’re probably right, but I was born Amish and I’ve never ever heard any Amish person call them carriages.

Where is this in Lancaster County?
Elk’s Lodge
@@corytheexplorer Darn. That means I'll need a member to get me in.
From Quebec
These look like Canadian 5 pin pins in a 10 pin formation. I've never seen duckpins with a rubber ring, and the look smaller than duck pins too. Also, I think the rubber rings and the string setter would defeat a lot of the pin action that duckpin is known for.
They're "rubberband duckpins", which used to be popular in Pittsburgh and thereabouts in the early mid-century. I forget when they were conceived, but you'll be able to look based on their name. They've been popular in Quebec with this string version over the past couple decades, though freefall machines exist for these too, or at least have existed.
Lovely cat 🐈🐱😍
I hate when the thing comes down and blocks you from seeing the pins in action but I still like the pinsetter though
Thanks for watching!
?
What’s worse that I hate pins being pulled up by Strings. I would fine if these were just set by hand or the pinsetter is a free fall.
