Tara - A Country Inn

Day 1

Today we depart for our "Gone With The Wind" getaway. With stops for rest and lunch, we will arrive at Tara ~ A Country Inn by early afternoon. Upon arrival we will have a guided tour of the Inn, before checking-in to our guest rooms. A family-style dinner will be included this evening.

Day 2

After breakfast at the Inn we will depart for a guided driving tour of Avenue of 444 Flags where we will honor America's veterans. 444 flags were placed in the Hillcrest Memorial Park as a symbol of the 444 days it took to release the 50+ Americans that were held hostage during the Iranian Hostage Crisis. These flags remain flying today to pay tribute to all veterans and as a reminder that freedom isn't free. Next, we will stop at Daffin's Candies to shop for some sweet treats. Daffin's is known for its milk and semi-sweet chocolate candies as well as their chocolate kingdom which includes large chocolate animals, chocolate castles, and an entire mini chocolate village. After lunch on our own we will have a guided tour of the Frank H. Buhl Mansion. Mr. Buhl, founder of Sharon Steel Corporation, built this "castle" for his beautiful bride Julia Forker in 1896. After Mr. & Mrs. Buhl passed away, the property was owned by many different people and was stripped of its spectacular architectural features. In 1996 the property was bought and fully restored and transformed into a beautiful, romantic bed & breakfast and spa. After, we will return to the Inn for some free time to relax and freshen up before our afternoon tea and dinner.

Day 3

Following breakfast, we will depart Tara ~ A Country Inn. Enroute home we will stop at Wendell August Forge for shopping. Lunch will be included at a local restaurant. Arrival home is scheduled for early evening.

Please note

Our intention is to run each tour as originally planned and published. However, if deemed necessary to do so, Perkiomen Tours reserves the right to make changes to tour components, schedules or itineraries without prior notification.

Tips for Perkiomen motorcoach drivers and tour escorts are not included in the price of this tour. We feel that these gratuities should be extended on an individual basis and dictated by the level of service provided.

Motorcoach seating is assigned at the time of reservation but cannot be guaranteed. Although we do our best to keep each traveler in the seat assigned at the time of reservation, there are times that it is necessary to move seat locations. Please be sure to verify your final seat number(s) with your driver at the time of boarding. Historically, daily seat rotation was practiced on most multi-day tours. We have suspended this practice for a period of time. Seat rotation will be explained by your driver or tour escort if reinstated.
