About Lancaster & Amish Country
Lancaster County moves at the pace of a horse and buggy, past patchwork farmland, covered bridges, and roadside stands piled with shoofly pie. Ride the rails through Dutch Country, share a family-style Pennsylvania Dutch dinner, and browse quilt shops and farmers markets that have anchored these towns for generations. Hershey's chocolate empire waits just up the road.
