Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania: the Heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Whether you're planning a family vacation, a romantic weekend, or a business meeting or convention, Lancaster County has what you're looking for. Luxury resort hotels, cozy B&B's, fine to family dining and everything in between, amusement parks, golf, the list goes on and on. Tour the Amish Country and enjoy folk arts, crafts, and recipes that haven't changed in centuries. Lancaster County is the Garden Spot of America, and FlavorFest brings our bounty center stage with special food events, trails and tours that feature each season's special harvest.
Part of Lancaster County's old-fashioned charm and homespun warmth stems from the Pennsylvania Amish population -- the families, farmers and craftsmen who follow a deeply religious, family-centered lifestyle that has maintained this tradition through a simple way of life, that has not adopted the mainstream culture, yet has adapted in many necessary ways throughout the last 300 years.
Pennsylvania Dutch Country, where there's no fast lane. In some of this country's oldest towns and villages, families and couples are slowing down and discovering something really unique and precious -- themselves. Traveling along Lancaster County's rolling farmlands promotes a sense of personal freedom. Among stone mills, wooden covered bridges, restored churches, or while attending the PA Dutch Flavorfest, people are capturing a different kind of scenic beauty. It's the kind that inspires an inner peace. |
