GET LOONEY IN ALTOONEY WITH CHARLIE ADAMS Saturday, June 20, 2020 $125 Members/$135 Non-Members LEARN MORE ABOUT THE RAILROAD IN ITS GLORY DAYS. Travel to historic Altoona to visit the Railroader’s Memorial Museum and Horseshoe Curve National Historic Landmark. When the (PRR) was building its line between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, Altoona didn’t exist yet. PRR actually founded the town in 1849 as the location for its locomotive and car repair shops. This new museum offers three floors of exhibits and a movie theatre that shows two movies every hour.

At the Curve an incline will take us “track side” so we can watch the trains travel through this engineering marvel. The Pennsylvania Railroad built the horseshoe shape to keep the tracks gliding along the natural formation of the Allegheny Mountains. Enjoy a picnic box lunch under the pavilion as we relive the days when railroads ruled!

The Altoona Curve team is an AA affiliate of the , and they just so happen to be hosting the Fightin’ Phils the very same day the BHC is visiting Altoona. While we won’t be attending the game, Charlie Adams has a surprise for us!

And the Creamery is more than just ice cream - it provides continuing education and training, and it serves as a working lab for students. With more than 100 ice cream flavors, 10 frozen yogurts, and 6 sherbets, you can’t possibly walk away without at least one scoop of deliciousness!
