Susquehanna Region Highlights

Day 1

The day will include some highlights in Williamsport, PA - the seat of Lycoming County and part of the Susquehanna River Valley region.

Itinerary

Le Jeune Chef - Visit the teaching restaurant at the Pennsylvania School of Technology, Le Jeune Chef to learn about the school's culinary program and get a taste of Le Jeune's delicious dishes. Lunch will include a salad, an entrée, and coffee/tea with dessert. A dessert chef will present a demo of our dessert, the restaurant's signature dish, known as 'Chocolate Soup.' This decadent dessert is a chocolate ganache lightened with cream, surrounding a coffee flan, and garnished with fresh berries, white and dark chocolate shavings, and Chantilly cream.

Hiawatha Riverboat - Travel the Susquehanna River on the Hiawatha Riverboat on a narrated cruise detailing the river's role in making Williamsport the lumber capital of the world in the mid-1800s. This narration depicts how logs from the north were corralled with underwater booms as jamcrackers risked their lives to keep the lumber flowing down river. We will also learn about a conductor on the Underground Railroad that used the river to help slaves from the south flee north.

World of Little League Museum - The focus of this museum is a dynamic presentation of how Little League has intertwined with both the U.S. and the world, and even helped to shape history. The museum explains how Little League became the world's leader not only in the number of participants, but in sports safety as well. The exhibits feature a rich mixture of authentic Little League heritage, artifacts and images, cutting-edge interactives, and immersive media. All of this brings home the overall mission of Little League, which is the belief in the power of youth baseball and softball to teach life lessons that build stronger individuals and communities.

A light meal stop will be made enroute home (not included in the cost of tour).
