Highlights

Experience historic Lancaster City one story—and one sip—at a time! We’ll begin in the heart of downtown Lancaster’s historic Penn Square before setting out to explore more than 300 years of local history, all packed within a few walkable blocks. As we make our way through charming streets and hidden alleys, you’ll discover the people, places, and stories that helped shape Lancaster and the nation. Along the way, we’ll explore landmarks connected to the nation’s oldest continuously operating farmers market, historic theaters and churches, the birthplace of the famous Conestoga Wagon, homes of notable Lancaster residents, and much more. Your guide will bring Lancaster’s past to life through fascinating stories, colorful characters, architecture, art, and local history. You’ll discover how this relatively small city played an important role in America’s early development—and how its history continues to influence the Lancaster we know today.

About Lancaster

Lancaster is a Pennsylvania city in the heart of Amish farm country, with a historic public market, old streets and rolling farmland all around.

Lancaster lies in south-eastern Pennsylvania, in a countryside of rolling fields and stone barns settled by German-speaking farmers, the Pennsylvania Dutch. The Amish and Mennonite communities of the county still farm with horse-drawn equipment, and buggies share the back roads with cars. In the city, Central Market, housed in a red-brick Romanesque building, has been a farmers' market since the 18th century.
