A&W Root Beer stand and a museum.

Horse and Buggy Museum. Texaco Gas Station. Located at 922 Old Harrisburg Rd. Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This is known as the Josiah Benner Barn. http://i.gettysburgdaily.com/imgs/Ele...

As of 4/24/2022 the barn is present but the other outbuildings are completely gone. The Texaco Station is now Tevis Energy.

Hi Walt,
Did you ever visit the museum?

My parents operated the A&W from about 1959 to 1962. We lived in a trailer behind the white fence at the back of the property. I attended Eisenhower Elementary School for 2nd, 3rd, & 4th grade. The A&W was a summer operation. We would spend the winter in Florida. My friends father was head of Secret Service at the Eisenhower Farm. My mother would sometimes have Mrs Eisenhower over for tea.
