Traveling to Pennsylania Dutch Country is somewhat like taking a trip back in time. Long inhabited by the Amish who are actually Germans, the area is checkered by farms where the men still work with horse and plow, the women bake everything from scratch, and the families get around by horse drawn buggy.
While there, you can purchase homemade goods including jellies and jams; blankets and pillows; wood carvings; handmade furniture; outdoor items including birdhouses; and so much more. Try the fudge... YUM! Sit down for a traditional Amish meal served family style... you will share a long table with complete strangers while being waited upon by pretty maidens. Not bad!
Located between Harrisburg and Philadelphia in Lancaster County, the area is seeing a building boom. Some of the Amish are moving away, but many do remain. Lodging is very reasonable and more than likely you will stay at an Amish run establishment.
