The Old Blacksmith Shop on Second Street, Bain- bridge, painstakingly re- stored to its original con- dition by Richard W. Brooks and his son Wayne, dates to the late 1700s. This rare example of early Americana contains the original tools and parts including the bellows, forge, colonial anvil, hammers and forging tools. A number of local antiques are on display.

In 1844 a new one story frame building was constructed on the present site with a second story being added in 1882. A fire in 1896 necessitated con- struction of the present brick church.

The Donegal Presbyterian Church, Donegal Springs Road, Mount Joy, was established in 1721 by Scots- Irish settlers in the Lan- caster County frontier. Near the church stands the centuries old white oak known as the Witness Tree. Around this tree the congre- gation pledged their support to the American Revolution. The basic form of the building and the gambrel roof show Irish influences. The exact age of the church structure is not known, however, researchers set the approximate date some- where between 1725S and 1740. The church is a rest stop on the tour. The Mansion House at Donegal Mills Plantation, Trout Rui Road, Mount Joy, was originally an 18th Century stone German farm house that was transformed into a palatial residence in the early 19th Century.
