Sail the Susquehanna
Step aboard the mahogany-planked, six-ton, 55-foot-long "Chief Uncas," a remarkable, historic electric boat originally commissioned for Anheuser-Busch beer magnate Adolphus Busch in 1912. See what it's like to sail the Susquehanna in style.
Something Old is New Again
A cornerstone of downtown York since 1925, The Yorktowne Hotel was the embodiment of the elegance and vivacious spirit of an era known for being over-the-top. The 11-story building, designed in Renaissance revival, closed its doors for renovation in 2016 and is now open in all its glory! Head to the rooftop bar for libations and a great view of historically edgy downtown York.
All Aboard!
