Fall Foliage and Covered Bridges, Oct. 10
Pennsylvania’s covered bridges, favorite subjects for photographers and historians, are the focus of this bus trip.

Participants will be able to also enjoy the autumn leaves along the way. Buses will leave at 6 a.m. from the front parking lot of the Gettysburg Campus and at 7 a.m. from Lot W9 at the Harrisburg Campus. Travelers will leave Knoebels Grove Park at 6 p.m. for the return trip home. The $65 cost includes the bus and guides. All meals are the responsibility of participants.

Terra Cotta Warriors, Nov. 21
In 1974, workers were digging a well outside the city of Xi’an in China when they struck a life-size clay soldier poised for battle. After considerable digging and excavation, thousands of soldiers were discovered – all with different faces. It seems that Qin Shi Huang Di, the First Emperor of Qin, decided to have his army duplicated in terra cotta so they could protect him in the next world. This bus trip takes participants to the National Geographic Museum in Washington, D.C., to see many of these famous soldiers and other Chinese antiquities. There will be plenty of free time to explore other parts of the city. The $79 cost includes the guide, bus and museum admission ticket. Meals are the responsibility of participants. The bus leaves from the Lancaster Campus at 6:15 a.m., the Harrisburg Campus at 7:15 a.m. and the Gettysburg Campus at 8:15 a.m. The registration deadline is Oct. 19. No refunds will be issued after the registration deadline.
