Haines Mill Museum — Attraction in South Whitehall Township

Absolutely beautiful park. A hidden treasure in Allentown. My wife and I were married in front of the gazebo in 2003.

This is the type of park you go to when you want to get away from the stresses of life for the day. The grounds are immaculate and there are so many beautiful flowers to see. Pack a lunch, bring a blanket, and find a nice shady spot to sit, eat and connect with nature.

There are two streams that run along the park. We used to fish here as kids but I don’t think fishing is allowed here now. We spotted several large Trout while walking over the bridge to the north side of the park.

What an interesting view into the past, hidden right next to Dorney Park!

I've lived here for many years but somehow never had taken the time to stop in. That ended today, and I'm glad that I did. It is amazing to see how milling worked both before and after modern conveniences such as engines and...
