Lancaster County and the Amish Country Holidays
Lancaster County has more than 2,500 miles of winding country roads connecting small towns and villages with their inviting main streets, quirky B&Bs and charming boutiques and galleries. Lose yourself along these back roads as you're transported to another time, among breathtakingly scenic farmlands, romantic covered bridges and Amish life.
Lancaster County is home to America's oldest Amish settlement, where thousands still live a centuries-old "plain" lifestyle. It's a place where visitors can step back in time to enjoy a slower, more peaceful pace - where the horse and buggy remains a primary form of transportation, and where windmills dot the landscape, providing a nature-harnessed power source.
