Lancaster County

Long a popular destination, Lancaster County remains a mix of old and new today.

The largest draw for visitors is the history, lived in the present each day by the Amish, or plain people. It is no surprise then that you can relax on a train pulled by a steam locomotive, or take a ride in a buggy.

For those looking for more modern attractions, there are amusement parks, dinner theaters, outlet shopping, and night clubs.

The city of Lancaster is the county seat.

Other towns include: Adamstown, Bird-in-Hand, Columbia, Denver, Elizabethtown, Ephrata, Gap, Intercourse, Landisville, Lititz, Manheim, Marietta, Mount Joy, New Holland, Paradise, Quarryville, and Strasburg.

Major roadways running in or through Lancaster County include Interstate 76 (The Pennsylvania Turnpike); US Routes 30, 222, and 322; PA Routes 10, 23, 41, 72, 230, 241, 272, 283, 324, 340, 372, 441, 462, 472, 501, 625, 722, 741, 743, 772, 896, 897, and 999.
