History/Science,Tour
Arcade & Attica Railroad Excursions
This is a wonderful way to experience the history of railroading in America. Start at the historic Arcade Station and, while you wait for the train, check out the exhibits. See old switch locks, antique railroad lanterns, original photographs and more. But don't get too caught up; when you hear "All Aboard," make your way to the train for a 14-mile ride to Curriers and back on restored Boonton passenger coaches from the 1920s. Take in the countryside and farmlands that, with a few minor exceptions, haven't changed much since the 1880s. On the return trip, ride on the open gondola, which now sits directly in front of the steam engine. This is an impossible-to-beat old time locomotive experience.

Stand Up Comedy
Bill Cosby
Over the past century, few entertainers have achieved the legendary status of William H. Cosby Jr. His successes span five decades and virtually all media; remarkable accomplishments for a kid who emerged from humble beginnings in a Philly project. In the 1960s, his stand-up act was a coast-to-coast sensation, spawning a string of hilarious, best-selling comedy albums, which went on to win eight Gold Records, five Platinum records and five Grammy Awards. His role on TV's 'I Spy' made him the first African-American to co-star in a dramatic series, breaking television's racial barrier and winning three Emmy Awards. In the 1980s, he again rocked the television world with 'The Cosby Show,' a gentle, whimsical and hugely successful series that single-handedly revived the family sitcom (and rescued NBC). With hit movies like 'Uptown Saturday Night' and best-selling books like 'Fatherhood'; Bill Cosby is quite simply a national treasure with the unique ability to touch people's hearts.
