Leaman Place is a named place in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. Leaman Place is known mostly as a whistle-stop. President Abraham Lincoln spoke at this station on February 22, 1861 to a crowd of 5,000.[1] In 1968, Democrat Hubert H. Humphrey, Democratic Party candidate for president, stopped and spoke at the same place.
The Strasburg Rail Road runs excursions between Leaman Place and Paradise; they use the road to Paradise as an advertising slogan, [2] which suggests that Leaman Place on the other end of the excursion, may be reached via a road paved with good intentions.
