"The village of Muddy Creek Forks is sort of like a time capsule. It's a village that's basically unchanged in the last 100 years, we are the preservers and maintainers of that heritage. We are a historic district on the national register," explained Craig Sansonetti, the president of the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad Preservation Society.
"We want people to know and understand what life was like in the village one hundred or more years ago, the key role that the railroad placed in developing communities here in Southeastern York County and how central it was to people's daily lives," said Sansonetti. "I bring my two daughters here, they are six and four," said visitor Carrie Dennis."I think it's important in this day and age that I show them how people lived 100 years ago, not just pulling out a phone and clicking on a button or instant text message."
