On the outskirts of Candy Apple Grove sits the remains of the once-thriving Hanover Hill Orchard. No one can say exactly what happened that day back in 1950. What destroyed half of the harvest in a matter of seconds? What shook the ground, turned over tractors, shattered glass, and nearly peeled the siding off the warehouse, all without warning...all without a cloud in the sky?
Strictly “off-limits” for decades, this land of local legend is finally open to the public! You are invited to experience Twisted Timbers, an exclusive tour of the now famed Hanover Hill Orchard. Take a ride through previously forbidden grounds where you’ll experience the unexplainable and see evidence preserved from that fateful day. Hold on tight because this is a tour with a twist. This is Twisted Timbers.
Guests must be 48" tall to ride.
