8 - W&W Spring 2012

Let’s get serious. Who doesn’t like the longer, warmer days that are upon us?

Just makes you feel good all over, doesn’t it? Makes me feel like a kid again!

Growing up, I spent a lot of time with cousins. Our families were close-knit.

Both my parents’ families grew up within a couple miles of each other. Everyone congregated at the farm after chores and dinner to play baseball on a piece of level land that had been a cow pasture. Mom and Dad had turned it into lawn, adding another half hour to my assigned chore of mowing the grass. (We’ll leave that story for another time!)

Spring is always a time of new beginnings, changing our winter habits into more physical activity after being inside for months. Just like our spring ball games got us all pumped, there are so many interesting and entertaining things going on in our beautiful state to take advantage of. We need to get out and enjoy them, stretching our imaginations and learning new things. And while you’re out there having fun and learning, make sure the venue you are enjoying knows you found them through Where & When.

The first step is always the hardest. But just do it! You know that once you do, you’ll have so much fun and wonder why you dragged your feet! With a renewed and energized outlook, you know summer can’t be far behind!

With names like Wyeth, Cassatt, Eakins, Oakley and Warhol, the works of Pennsylvania artists have left an indelible mark on the world. With genres that range from the fiber arts and glass blowing to vibrant watercolors and exquisite jewelry, the Commonwealth continues to nurture and inspire a new generation of artists.

Fortunately, it’s never been easier to visit many of the state’s most talented artisans, thanks to the PA Artisan Trail Alliance.

Currently, there are six active trails that allow us to experience the work of artists in quaint villages and historic towns along some Pennsylvania’s most picturesque roads.

to the facility. The entrance to the museum takes you into the gift shop, where visitors can purchase everything from apparel to typical souvenir merchandise proudly displaying the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) emblem.

IN THE LINE OF DUTY Immediately upon entering the main exhibit area, you come face to face with the sacrifice made by so many. The Wall of Honor displays plaques with the names of 1,850 troopers who lost their lives in the line of duty. The earliest dates back more than a century.

The Sept. 11, 2001, exhibit features a piece of one of the steel beams from the World Trade Center, as well as photos and letters from the Flight 93 crash site in Shanksville, Somerset County.

UNIFORMITY

L

ast spring while attending the Tourism Rally at the Capitol in Harrisburg, I met Jessica Dietz, operations manager at the Pennsylvania State Police Museum in Hershey. Our conversation was very enlightening given the fact that I didn’t know that the museum even existed.

Located just minutes from Hersheypark, the museum is eclipsed by the State Police Academy that sits adjacent

What at first glance looks like a crowd of troopers is actually a display showcasing the evolution of the PA State Police uniform. I was a bit surprised to see that the original female troopers, who graduated from the academy in 1972, were required to apprehend criminals in a skirt that fell just below the knee.

CRIME & PUNISHMENT The display that really captured my interest was the exhibit of some of the PSP’s most infamous investigations, including the case of the Mountain Man of Shade Gap, which garnered national attention in 1966. William Hollenbaugh, a.k.a. “Bicycle Pete,” was a former mental patient and paranoid schizophrenic who kidnapped 17-year-old Peggy Ann Bradnick at gunpoint after she got off the school bus.

During the eight-day ordeal, The Wall of Honor is a somber reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by many troopers over the years.

DISSECTING THE CRIME Often a favorite of children who visit the museum, the interactive Crime Scene Forensics Exhibit allows visitors to “investigate” a homicide using fingerprinting and ballistic techniques.

A tribute to the 9/11 tragedy includes a replica of the original makeshift memorial at Shanksville, site of the Flight 93 crash.

serve as a memorial. The center would include a chapel and space for meetings.

On Saturday, April 28, the eighth annual PA State Police Soldiers of the Law Memorial (motorcycle) Ride will raise funds for the new facility. The ride is open to all active and retired State Police members, State Police employees and friends of the PA State Police.

Registration information can be found on the museum website at www.psp-hemc.org.

With the popularity of TV shows like "CSI," visitors enjoy playing amateur detective at the crime scene exhibit.

lie’s original costume and other rodeo memorabilia take center stage at the museum.

Other exhibits, including those focusing on the Camp Hill Prison riots and the State Highway Patrol, as well as a multimedia education area, make use of every possible inch of space at the museum. Space is a constant challenge for the museum. In addition to the artifacts on display, the PSP Museum has two storage facilities to house its entire collection.

PA STATE POLICE HISTORICAL, EDUCATIONAL & MEMORIAL CENTER There are plans for a new museum to be built on the 10-acre site adjacent to the academy, but funds earmarked by the Commonwealth to get the project off the ground are now frozen due to state budgetary concerns. Currently the museum is funded entirely by donations, fundraising events and proceeds from the museum store. The Pennsylvania State Police Historical, Educational & Memorial Center would have three main components: to offer exhibits, to serve as an educational facility, and to

GENERAL INFORMATION: Museum tours are free, but donations are appreciated. Tours are given Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., closed weekends and holidays. Call ahead 717-534-0565 before visiting.

GETTING THERE: 187 Police Academy Dr., Hershey, PA 17033 If you plug in the museum address into your GPS, it will certainly take you there, but the route will take you through the Police Academy campus, which can be confusing. Here are the directions I would suggest you follow: Follow the directions to Hersheypark.

Once on Hersheypark Drive/Route 743 going north, take a slight left on Laudermilch Road (the first light after Police Academy Drive). Then take the first left onto Swatara Road, and the entrance to the museum is an immediate left onto Police Academy Drive. The museum is on the right at top of the hill.
