If anyone sees the movie "A Great Awakening" coming out this week, take notice of the crowd scene at the Ephrata Cloister, you will see one our Conestoga wagons. They borrrowed a few items for the movie. The wagon may be featured more times in the movie, but we haven't viewed it yet. Let us know if you see it. This is the second Sight and Sound movie where they borrowed from us. The other one was "I Heard the Bells".
