At Hands-on House Museum, kids play, have fun - and learn

BY JEFF FALK

They’ve got a lot of cool things going on at the Hands-on House Children’s Museum of Lancaster, both inside and out, both individually and in group settings. Touching is fun, fun is learning, and learning is a key element in

healthy development.

Located at 721 Landis Valley Road, t he Hands-on House Children’s Museum of Lancaster is an energetic space for kids to be kids. It’s an engaging place where children from ages 2 through 10, and even younger, are encouraged to explore, be creative and be curious.

“ We want kids to develop a love for learning,” said Jim Bland, executive director of the Hands-on House Children’s Museum. “Everyone learns best by doing. Some are more auditory; some are more visual. The number one way to learn and retain is by teaching. In a freeform environment, kids are taking control. Then kids give instruction to grown-ups.”

The 8,000-square-foot Hands-on House Children’s Museum is broken down into about seven or eight different interactive play/learning areas. There, kids are mentally stimulated and presented with items that may be new or may be familiar.

Out of doors, young explorers are treated to a recently enlarged learning playground called “Mason’s Active Adventure Garden,” where the use of “outside voices” signals a different sort of appreciation for learning.

But Hands-on House is so much more. It also offers art classes, story times, STEM programs, reading instruction, camps and outreach programs.

“Early learning gives kids a better shot when they get into school,” said Bland. “They get a little more familiar with the structure, with the attention span needed. Kind of like when they get into school they can say, ‘I’ve been learning.’”

Approximately 63,000 visitors are hosted by the Hands-on House Museum of Lancaster each year, and about half of them are children. Bland estimated that 75% of those guests originate from Lancaster County.

In early 2019, Linda Dibartolo and Bill Heagy Sr., owners of Tannery Antiques, 148 E. Main St., New Holland, were contacted by members of the board of the Upper Leacock Township War Memorial Association (ULTWMA) building, 54 W. Main St., Leola. The board wanted to move three

paintings by local artist Milton E. Denlinger located in the basement of the building. After several months of negotiations, the 12.5-by-4.5-foot paintings had found a new home near the front of the couple’s shop.

“They are painted on Masonite, so they are heavy,” said Dibartolo, who added that it takes six people to move each painting.

Because it’s all around and everywhere you look, anyone can appreciate the beauty of Lititz. But Tom Roe perceives it in a much different way - through the lens of a camera.

Roe, a local professional photographer, is a self-professed visual storyteller. And of all the subjects he captures, one of his favorites to portray is his adopted hometown of Lititz.

“Essentially, Lititz is very photogenic,” said Roe. “But what separates the work I do from taking pictures with a cellphone is planning and execution. I want to show off

the beauty of Lititz in the best possible way. Yes, Lititz is a beautiful town, but that makes it even more important to capture it in the right way. You’ve got to give it the respect it deserves.”

Through his photography, Roe has engrained himself in the Lititz community.

Roe works closely with the tourism-oriented organization Venture Lititz and helps promote local businesses and people through his commercial photography. He estimated that 80% of his paid work originates from the Warwick and Ephrata areas.

Linda Dibartolo stands between two of the three Milton E. Denlinger paintings of Lancaster County that she has in her shop on Main Street in New Holland.

Recently, he published the “Tom Roe Photography Presents 2023 Lititz Community Choice Calendar,” which features familiar shots of the town presented in a uniquely artistic fashion.

“Since I moved here in 2018, it’s been my main focus, the town,” said Roe, a graduate of Solanco High School. “Photography is an art. You can’t learn to be an artist. You can learn the art. Learning how to be a

photographer from an artistic point of view was what I was missing.”

It was that evolution as an artist that allowed Roe to become a professional. After 20 years of honing his craft, Roe ditched his job in retail and took the full-time leap into the world of professional photographyproducts, portraits and promotions. “It’s my profession. It’s what I do,” said Roe. “It’s more work than people think. What I do is very com-

plicated. Every single photo I approach, 98% of the work is done before I take the shot. It’s the execution that’s important. It’s a long process and every step is connected.”

Roe has learned a lot on the job through repetition and trial and error, building on his education at Hallmark Institute of Photography in Massachusetts. However, his photography education began long before that, as he grew up around

Going old school for a cause

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

If the winter blues have you feeling low, head out for a fun night guaranteed to raise your spirits. Iron-Leg Corp. will host a Back to the ’70s and ’80s Dance Party on Saturday, March 11. The event will be held at Club Twenty3, 1703 New Holland Pike, Lancaster, from 7 p.m. to midnight.

“Come out, dust off your platform shoes and help support a great cause,” said Sean Laukhuff, vice president of Iron-Leg. “Come enjoy the night with friends and dancing and just let loose.”

The festivities will feature ’70s and ’80s music from a DJ, a photo booth, a signature Iron-Leg drink and a silent auction. “We’ll have lots of sports memorabilia, memorabilia from the ’70s and ’80s and really something for everyone at the auction,” Laukhuff commented.

People are encouraged to come in their best ’70s and ’80s costumes, and a costume contest will be held. “We’ll award prizes for the best male, best female and best couple,” Laukhuff noted.

Proceeds from the party will benefit Iron-Leg Corp., a Lancasterbased nonprofit organization that raises funds for children in need of prosthetics. The organization was started by Matt Millhouse and Laukhuff, who were looking for a way to give back to the community when they realized they could raise funds for a cause close to home. Millhouse’s son, Parker, was born without a right leg, so Millhouse and Laukhuff created Iron-Leg in 2020, named in Parker’s honor. The orga-

nization has a mission of not only paying for high-end prosthetics for children and youths age 18 and younger, but also making sure recipients receive therapy to learn how to use them. Iron-Leg has helped children in Lancaster and York counties, raising thousands of dollars. Each prosthetic can cost between $5,000 and $50,000.

Last year’s dance party, held at The Village Nightclub, raised close to $10,000, a goal Laukhuff hopes to meet again this year. Additional fundraisers for the organization include a golf tournament and a car show.

Laukhuff noted that Iron-Leg is

looking for board members who have a passion for making a difference in a child’s life. “If you have a heart for community and a desire to give back, we’d love to talk to you,” he said.

In the meantime, he hopes to draw a good crowd to the dance party, adding, “It’s winter, and we’ve all been cooped up inside. Get out of the house and come to a party.”

The dance party is for people age 21 and older. Tickets may be purchased for a discount by using a QR code found on Iron-Leg’s Facebook page. Tickets will also be available the door. For more information, visit www.ironleg.org.

“When I was a kid, we’d go on camping trips, and I was always the first one to grab the disposable cameras,” said Roe. “My mom would always bring three or four cameras along, and she’d have to hide them from me. At one point, I was like, ‘You mean you can do this for a living?’ I set my mind to it. I decided to go to school for it and I’ve been doing it ever since.”

Sean Laukhuff with a ticket to the dance party.

Denlinger, who lived from 1909 to 1991, was a Soudersburg resident who sold paintings from his shop on Route 30 near Paradise. He took lessons from local painters as far east as Philadelphia, and he worked in watercolors and pastels, as well as oils. He was known for his murals, including one of Christ that is still hanging in the Akron United Zion Church.

The three murals stored in the ULTWMA building were commissioned by Noah E. Martin in 1953 to hang in the ULTWMA building, then called the Leola Community Building. While the paintings depict seasonal scenes of Lancaster County, they are also historical, representing a chronological sequence of the area from the

1700s to beyond the 1950s. The winter scene, which is set in the 1700s, includes a red barn and a covered bridge all decorated in a layer of white. The summer scene, which harkens to the 1800s, depicts a steam train, a one-room schoolhouse, and a swimming hole. Autumn shows Lancaster County in 1953, with a glimpse into the future by featuring superhighways, a diesel train, and powered farm equipment.

Dibartolo said she and Heagy have delved into the story behind the pieces, noting they were painted in the living room of Denlinger’s ranch-style home in only a few weeks each. Each painting has a Bible verse on the frame. For instance, the winter scene quotes

Matthew 5:5, which begins with “Blessed are the meek.” On the backs, Denlinger wrote his name, the year, and other information, including, “Theme … ‘How Dear Are the Scenes of My Childhood.’” Dibartolo has studied the paintings, and she pointed out Denlinger’s thumbprints in the smoke of the steam engine and the fact that in each one someone is waving to the viewer. She also noted the impressionist technique Denlinger used that makes the paintings clearer

from a distance than they are up close. Dibartolo noted the lavender hues of the sky in one painting and the shadows on the water in another. “Aren’t they beautiful?” she commented.

Dibartolo and Heagy would like to see the paintings go to an appropriate home within Lancaster County. To contact someone at Tannery Antiques, readers may visit www.reallancastercounty.com or search for “Tannery Antiques LLC” on Facebook.

The Cowboys: Music of the American West

Separate admission fees have been set for children ages 2 through 10 and for adults. Kids age 2 and under are admitted free. The Handson Children’s Museum boasts about 17,000 members.

“From a value standpoint, adults and children can easily spend two hours here, and when the weather is nice, another 45 minutes outside,” said Bland. “That’s a lot for the money. There’s a big variety of things to do, and we’re always adding something new. As a child, there’s really something here for everyone.”

Through the cooperation of the Junior League of Lancaster, similar organizations and interested individuals, the Hands-on House Children’s Museum was established in

1985. The current structure was built around the turn of the century, and the museum and its exhibits were moved across the street from the former 1,500-square-foot building.

Over the years, the exhibits have changed and been upgraded and modernized. But the Hands-on House’s mission of “learning through play” has never wavered.

“We want more diversification in our visitors,” said Bland. “We want to add more value to our admission price. We want to expand our mission. We’re trying to develop a sense of belonging.”

The Hands-on House Children’s Museum of Lancaster

Not easily broken

BY ANN MEAD ASH

Dayspring Christian Academy’s Remember America Speaker Series team makes decisions based in prayer and with reverence to Scripture. The choice of three speakers for this year’s event is rooted in Ecclesiastes 4:12, which reads in part, “A three-ply cord is not easily broken.”

“Our team started thinking about how our school is in partnership with parents and churches in educating our children,” said Lisa Becker, events manager with Dayspring, which is located in Mountville. That threestrand cord of family, church, and education became the basis for this year’s banquet, with a speaker chosen to represent each of the three strands.

The 2023 Remember America Speaker Series banquet will be held at the Lancaster County Convention Center, 25 S. Queen St., Lancaster, at 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 29. The featured speakers will be author and Fox News host Pete Hegseth, speaking on education; actor Kirk Cameron, speaking on family; and worship leader Sean Feucht, speaking on the role of the church.

Hegseth came to the attention of the Dayspring team when a school staff member read his book “Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a

Pete Hegseth Kirk Cameron

Century of Miseducation.” Dayspring headmaster Dan Stone explained that the first community schools in America were instituted for the purpose of teaching children to read in order that they might learn from the Word of God. “In a Christian society … the community schools taught Christian values,” said Stone, who added that changes in education began to occur in the 20th century. Hegseth’s book outlines those changes and proposes classical Christian education as a remedy. “As a Principle Approach school, there are elements of classical education (at Dayspring),” noted Stone.

Cameron is well-known for his part in the sitcom “Growing Pains” and for several family-focused films. Most recently, Cameron’s “American Campfire Revival” has encouraged the family of faith to embrace principles that may bring blessing to America.

Feucht is a worship leader, author, and missionary. “When it comes to the church, few voices have been as loud in calling God’s people to engage the culture and redeem it for Christ,” said Stone.

“It all ties together,” said Becker of the three speakers. “The mission of the Remember America Speaker Series is to remind Americans of their unique heritage of liberty that was founded upon biblical principles. We felt that a three-strand cord is one we wanted to illuminate … to bring people together.”

Dayspring senior Caroline Hostetter of Pequea Township will also present her winning oratory, “America: A Legacy of Honor and Liberty,” at the banquet.

Tickets to the event may be purchased at www.DayspringChristian .com. Readers who wish to sponsor a table may call 717-285-2000, ext. 211.
