Quaint little spot, delightful and wonderful atmosphere

Awesome, check it out. Tours on Sundays.

A lovely historical gem right there on US Route 15, just south of Harrisburg. I’ve driven past it dozens of times and never thought to stop until that day. We arrived a half hour prior to closing but were very graciously offered an abbreviated version of the tour. The site includes a home-tavern and several outbuildings. Be sure to check out the working outdoor brick oven, barn, and workshop. In addition to making items used on site, the craftsmen repair historical furniture and equipment for other sites across the region. The gift shop has pottery crocks and pepper mills made right there on the property.

We visited for the speakeasy experience this past weekend and had an absolute blast. We were a group of four and didn’t know what to expect. It was so well organized, a kind and welcoming crowd, and very well staffed. There were puzzles and riddles, and lots of things to see and do to keep people engaged in between the beverage tastings. I imagine most of the folks who put the event on are volunteers, and you can tell they deeply care about the history, buildings and grounds. There’s so much to see here and we can’t go wait to return for the cherry bounce festival. The history is interesting and the buildings are well maintained and beautiful. Above all else, a hilariously fun evening learning about history through booze. It was money well spent! The drinks were plentiful and delicious and the music was entertaining. We also won the costume contest and received a wonderful prize. Who would’ve thought such a gem could be found in Dillsburg?

Dills Celtic Festival was great, with interesting artisans & craftsman and great music!
Dennis Brew
Went to the Christmas Fest on Saturday (12/10/22) and picked up some stocking stuffers. Lots of local vendors and a big crowd in attendance.
Ron Hirneisen
Fabulous! Learned a bit. Enjoyed the tour! Sad only open on Sundays now.Tricky finding entrance & parking. Worth the time! Will be back for festivals.

We went for the Celtic festival. $15 entry fee really is steep just to walk around a small area. There were very interesting crafts people, and I really liked all of the history. I was disappointed in the lack of authentic ethnic food. The live music was nice.
Diane Foley
Enjoyed my time there. They were having a Celtic festival when I visited and I had a good time
Great venue. Interesting enough on its own merit, but better to go when there's an 'event' on like the Christmas Market or Celtic Festival.
Aaron DeJesus
Beautiful historical structure. We attended the annual Christmas market called Christkindlmarkt. There were many vendors and plenty of tasty treats.

Attend the dillsburg christkindl market and had a great time. Lots of vendors set up. Just wish there were a few more food trucks there

I went there on a rainy day so it was a bit muddy. The history and the buildings are amazing. The people in their 'period' clothing are very informative and friendly. I did not stay long and plan to go back and to take a walking tour. I expect it to be very good, but I will get back to you on that. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because I spent $10 on the bread that they just backed in their period brick oven and it was bad. At least my wife and I did not like it. The bread was tough and lacked flavor. It had a strange kind of consistency that made it chewy.

Love the historical building and was given a personal tour by owner.
