About Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery

Located in historic Lititz in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, this working-history bakery lets visitors tour its original pretzel bakery and see the original ovens built by Julius Sturgis. Guests receive their own dough to twist into a pretzel, can watch bakers shape soft pretzels by hand, and can shop for treats and souvenirs in the bakery store. The site presents itself as a historic landmark rather than a modern production facility. Tours are short, roughly 25 minutes, and reservations are recommended.
