Conewago Manor Inn

Parlour

Please be seated in our elegant Parlour, where the past has been patiently awaiting your arrival. Imagine the chamber echoing with laughter as the ladies’ circle passed the time, their fingers busy with handwork while their voices spread the latest news and perhaps a bit of gossip. Listen as these joyous sounds blend with hesitant notes from the Steinway grand piano, as one of the children practices their scales in anticipation of the instructor’s visit. Take a moment to reflect on the finery of the room and the trappings of the day, now recollected and displayed as they would have been back then, each item with a specific purpose and function and crafted in spellbinding detail. As the day draws to an end and the gas lamps are lit, the music box comes to life and lures everyone from all corners of the house, joining them together in spirit and song.
