Strasburg, PA - Between the Raindrops

Return to Robert Pence Home Page

Strasburg is a village just a few miles from Lancaster. It's concentrated around a crossroads without side streets to speak of, and has a remarkable collection of restored historic homes and several shops oriented toward the tourist trade attracted by Strasburg Railroad and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

St. Michael's appears to have undergone major reconstruction in the gable ends. I'd guess that it once had a bell tower and a traditional entrance in the end that's on the left when facing the building from the street.

Strasburg's tourist business is enhanced by nearby major attractions. The Strasburg Railroad, in its 50th year as a tourist railroad, is on the edge of town, and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is just across the street from that.
