The City of Lancaster is the oldest inland city in the United States, located close to the Amish countryside. The City boasts a rich life, with a wonderful theatre, art galleries, restaurants, shopping, and even a top notch minor league ball club -- the Barnstomers. Outside the city are picturesque Amish Farms, exceptional antiquing, as well as local attractions like the Wilber Chocolate Factory, Landis Valley Museum, and Mount Gretna (a gem of architecture and historical arts community). A quilting paradise, Lancaster has a rich tradition for needlework of all kinds. There is an exceptional quilt museum, and quilt and fabric stores too numerous to count. We can arrange individualized quilting lessons at your request. From Lancaster it is also just 75 minutes or less to Gettysburg or other Civil War attractions. The City also has a beautiful old train station serviced by Amtrak.
