What’s
not to like about Chantilly Goods and Weissport Washboard in historic
Weissport, Pennsylvania? Chantilly Goods is an old fashion ice cream parlor,
vintage soda fountain and candy shoppe. Walking into this old time soda shoppe
is like stepping back in time into a 1920s and 1930s soda fountain, as I
discovered when I visited on an early September afternoon.
Inside
and outside, it’s a wonderful scoop of Americana, a real vintage gem … with
sprinkles on top!
Chantilly
Goods is located near the Weissport Trailhead of the Delaware and Lehigh
National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail) and rents surreys (multiple-person
bikes) to ride on the trail.
Running
from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and
Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
