Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Posted by Steve Shane on Saturday, February 10, 2007
Lancaster County, in southeastern Pennsylvania, is best known for its picturesque rolling farmlands and large population of Amish people. Their simple way of life is evidenced by their horse-drawn buggies, plain dress, hard work, and tightly-knit religious community. Spending time in Amish Country is like stepping back to 19th century America.
But Lancaster County also has lots of 21st century activities to offer its millions of annual visitors, including an amazing array of shopping, numerous live theaters and concerts, many museums and historical sights, 29 covered bridges (the 2nd most of any county in America), old-time railroads, a rapidly growing art community, and numerous family amusement attractions.
When planning a vacation, consider that Lancaster is also a convenient hub for visiting Gettysburg, Valley Forge, Hershey, Philadelphia, and Baltimore (each just 30 to 80 minutes from Lancaster).
