Check out this 1955 bird's eye view of the square in Lititz! How many buildings can you identify?

The spelling bee was a special day in the one-room Kissel Hill School when this undated photograph was taken. This was a chance for the teachers to show off their best spellers in front of the parents and friends of the students and provided a social event for the area. A prize, usually a special book, would be awarded to the top speller.

In 1955, these gentlemen demonstrated the power of the Assistance, an early firefighting piece of apparatus in Lititz.

We always love when artists choose our Mary Oehme Gardens to create wonderful pieces of artwork.

Did you know…Once located at the end of Spruce Street next to the Lititz Springs Park, the Park House (right) was a place where visitors could rent rooms when they visited town.
During the summer of 1895, the establishment operated as a saloon and boarding house. Sadly, the structure was eventually torn down in 1957, but for many, the memories still remain.

Once located at the intersection of West Woods Drive and Route 501 (just south of downtown Lititz) was Jerry Hertzler’s gas station, which provided customers with roadside essentials, snacks, fuel, newspapers, coffee, and penny candy.
