Default Ford Barners ... What must not be missed during a visit to Pennsylvania in October?

We are a bunch of old farts who thought about making a visit to Pennsylvania.
We are grateful for any suggestions, that not only must be car-related, it can be .... Buildings, Small Private Places of Interest,
Manufacturing, Old trains, Old things great and small.

Thanks in advance!

While in Hershey you must see the AACA Museum. It is new & very impressive.
