When I was a kid in 60s and our family would take road trips on the weekend we would sometimes ride up thru Ohio Pyle State Park and on the way there was a very unique store which sold wooden toys .
The people who ran it where dressed similar to Mennonites and they where known as the Bruderhof
A very quiet and Peaceful Religious sect .

While the store is no more the community has grown into the Spring Valley Community which took over they old Gorly Hotel and lake in 1957 and drained the lake in 1965 . The old hotel was torn down in 2006.
If you ever get the chance you should visit and explore this unique religion and life style.
which helps to run the local ambulance service
