Pennsylvania is known for it's history and hidden gems, but there is one place that is small but beautiful hidden among the apple trees and surrounding nature. Burnside Plantation has an amazing story behind it's rustic barns and butterfly gardens. The plantation is spacious and beautiful. The barns are big and solid surrounded by fields of apple trees and topped with smaller gardens of butterflies and flowers. During the apple festival we experienced some pleasant country music, fresh fruits, cooking tips, and the most amazing apple cider slushies we have ever tasted. If you are ever in the area, Burnside Plantation should be on your list. You'll be amazed at how much history is wrapped up in such a quaint little place. This isn't a thrill seeking adventure, its more for learning, historical and relaxing moments with the family.

Beautiful old plantation / farm with colonial era dress and demonstrations. Restored house, barn, and out buildings are wonderfully picturesque. Several events throughout the year create a larger event on the site, such as the annual blueberry festival. This is a highly recommended visit for tourist of long time residents of the Lehigh valley area. There are plenty of activities for young and old alike.

So today, you could get 5 different kinds of lettuces, radishes, 4 different kinds of kale, garlic, 4 different kinds of mint, fennel, and many kinds of flowers. So this is held the 1st Sat of the month until Oct. Hope to see you there, btw you give a donation of your choice for the items you take. 🌞

Such a great historic place to visit. Sometimes they have events and reenactments that really take you back in time. It’s very peaceful and beautiful and the grounds are very well kept. There is a walking path that runs parallel to the train tracks and follows the Monacacy creek for miles. Highly recommend stopping by.

I only got to see the grounds however, the lawn mowing attendant was super friendly let me know what the speel was. The surrounding willow trees are a sight to see plus, I think tours are available during a certain time frame! I mean it does offer perspective into a different era without our modern technology!

Apple Days is a 5 year fest held in addition to the Blueberry festival held for over 30 years. My wife remembers performing for kids and seniors with Roy Justice and Dave Fry. The volunteers should be proud of what they have done over the years.
