VISITING LANCASTER

Welcome
to Lancaster County
To look even briefly at the history of Lancaster County is to
glimpse illustrious people and important events that are at
the center of America’s development as a nation.
A part of Penn’s Woods, chartered to William Penn in 1681,
this area’s first permanent colony was established soon after
1700 by Swiss Mennonites led by Hans Herr. German Mennonites, French Huguenots, Welsh and English (many of whom
were Quakers) and Scots-Irish soon followed.
Lancaster County was the fourth county named in Pennsylvania, separating from Chester County in 1729. Local Indian
tribes, most notably the Susquehannocks, traded with the
settlers. That prosperous trade, plus Lancaster’s strategic location, made it a natural gateway to the West.
More than two centuries later, Lancaster County is not so
much a gateway as a destination in and of itself — attracting visitors to its picturesque, fertile farmlands, historic sites,
vibrant arts community, amusements, world-class entertainment venues, restaurants, specialty shops and outlets.
Use this guide to get you started on your visit, and enjoy
your stay in Lancaster County.

Lancaster City
Any visit to Lancaster County must
include a visit to the city of Lancaster,
where a rich history dating to the 1700s
meets a vibrant and sophisticated entertainment and arts scene.
Lancaster was incorporated as a city
in 1818. Its original boundaries, set in
1742, extended one mile in each direction from Penn Square and remained fixed until
a series of annexations began in 1947. Lancaster was
an important 18th-century settlement on the primary
route of westward expansion and a regional center
serving the surrounding agricultural community.
Today, Lancaster City is an architectural gem. Stroll
down any street, in any direction and you will find
historic buildings reflecting different architectural
styles and periods. You’ll also find a fantastic art
community with more than 90 art venues, shopping,
over 300 places to dine, and cultural and entertain-

TGIF

Fridays in Lancaster County
are cause for celebration
First there were First Fridays, and then there were
Second and Third Fridays. After that came Fourth
Fridays in five different towns.
It’s enough to make you say, TGIF.
If you’re in Lancaster County on a Friday, there’s
always somewhere to go.

FIRST FRIDAY
It all began with First Friday in Lancaster in the
early 2000s. Gay and Dennis Cox had opened City
Folk Gallery on North Prince Street, with the idea of
transforming that block into Gallery Row. First Fridays were an effective way to get people out and
about on Fridays to discover the burgeoning arts
community.
All they had to do was put out a bottle of wine and
some cheese and crackers. If you feed them, they will
come. It suddenly became trendy to take a look at
the art, too.
Years later, First Fridays in Lancaster are still a huge
success. Not only do the art galleries attract people
to check out the art and sample a few tasty bites,
but restaurants, theaters and shops in downtown
Lancaster are thriving as well. It seems the place to
be on the first Friday of any month.
Gallery Row did indeed turn into the destination
that was first imagined, with an ever-growing lineup of galleries that includes Annex 24 Gallery, Arctic
Sun Gallerie, Artisans Gallery, Christiane David Gallery, Cindy Schlosser Gallery on Market, D&J Scott
Galleries, Franz Fox Studios and Gallery, Freiman
Stoltzfus Gallery, Friendship Heart Gallery, Isadore
Gallery, Julia Swartz Art Gallery, Lancaster Galleries,
Liz Hess Gallery, Mio Studio, Pennsylvania Guild of
Craftsmen, Red Raven Art Company, Sohotogo and
Todd Snader Gallery.
And Gallery Row isn’t just on Prince Street. It’s all

over the city.
But downtown Lancaster isn’t the only Friday
destination.

SECOND FRIDAY
On the second Friday of the month, Lititz is the
place to be, even in the rain and in the cold. In
February, Second Friday means the annual Fire
and Ice Festival, with ice sculptures lining the
streets, music and dancing, and the annual chili
cook-off.
In summer and fall, Second Fridays in Lititz are fullfledged festivals, with music, food and shops that
welcome customers who can’t get in from 9 to 5.
Nearly all of the downtown shops are open late, with
special events to lend to the party atmosphere.

THIRD FRIDAY
Back in 2007, Ephrata adopted its own Third Friday’s a Charm, drawing people to town on the third
Friday of the month.
And downtown Lancaster comes alive with the
sound of music on Music Fridays, every third Friday
of the month. The City of Lancaster Office of Promotion (LOOP), Music For Everyone and Series 42
are hosting a special concert series for 2015 Music
Fridays. During the fall/winter months concerts will
be held indoors, during the spring/summer months,
concerts will be held in Binns Park.

FOURTH FRIDAY
Heading west, communities like Mount Joy, Columbia, Marietta and Wrightsville could hardly ignore the
success of first and second Fridays.
“It seemed like a good idea for Columbia to have
its own Fourth Friday,” says Cle Berntheizel of Garth
Gallery in Columbia.
So was born Fourth Friday in the river towns of Columbia, Marietta and Wrightsville, celebrating their
history and arts.
On Fourth Fridays from 5 to 9 p.m., restaurants,
shops and attractions open their doors for special

events, tours and exhibits. In Columbia, that includes

and Alverta Arts Shop, Keagy’s Produce, Prudhomme’s Lost Cajun Kitchen, Susquehanna Center for the
Creative Arts, Susquehanna Glass Factory and Watermelon Rind.
Across the Susquehanna River, Wrightsville offers
John Wright Restaurant and Weavings Ink Gallery.
Heading north on the river, Marietta’s attractions include McCleary’s Public House, Shank’s Tavern, Burning Bridge Tavern and Half Nuts Popcorn Co.
Mount Joy also laid claim to Fourth Friday, with
a variety of themes for each month. Most shops in
Mount Joy stay open on Friday evenings. While summer and fall are the busiest Fourth Fridays, winter’s
Death by Chocolate and Fire & Ice Festival prove that
even chilly weather will bring them out, if it’s chocolate or ice sculptures.

Tour the
Towns
Lancaster County’s rich history extends far beyond
the city limits. Here are some other places you won’t
want to miss during your stay here:

LITITZ
Picture a pleasant stroll along tree-lined streets,
with unique attractions, specialty and antique shops,
boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops and museums.
The earliest settlers of Lititz were Swiss-German
Mennonites who in 1710 fled religious persecution in
Europe. They were quickly followed by the Moravians and Amish. They built stone mills, wooden covered bridges and log homes.
Many 18th-century buildings have been wonderfully restored and can be enjoyed as you walk through
town. And don’t forget to take some time to relax in
Lititz Springs Park.
Some sites to see:
u Lititz Welcome Center and Train Station Replica, North Broad Street, at the entrance to Lititz
Springs Park.
u Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, 219 E. Main St.
Home of the first commercial pretzel bakery in
America. Take a tour and visit the bakery store.
u The Lititz Moravian Church, 8 Church Square.
The Lititz Moravian congregation was organized on

Feb. 19, 1749. The current church building was built
in 1787.
u Wilbur Chocolate Company, North Broad
Street. See how the chocolate is made, buy some
sweets in the Candy Store and visit the Candy Americana Museum.

EPHRATA
Ephrata has its roots in a religious community
founded on the banks of the Cocalico Creek in 1732
by a German dissident named Conrad Beissel.
What began as a hermitage for a small group of
devoted individuals grew into a thriving community
of nearly 80 celibate members supported by an estimated 200 family members at its zenith in the mid18th century.
Beissel’s theology, a hybrid of pietism and mysticism, encouraged celibacy, Sabbath worship, Anabaptism and the ascetic life. The community became
known for its a cappella music, calligraphy known as
Frakturschriften and a complete publishing center,
including paper mill, printing office and book bindery.
The community quickly declined after Beissel’s

death in 1768. Today, the cluster of dormitories,
workshops and mills is a National Historic Landmark.
By the mid-19th century, Ephrata had become a
pleasure resort community thanks to its natural mineral springs. The former Mountain Springs Hotel, on a
ridge overlooking the center of town, became a spa
resort destination for high society, including several
U.S. presidents.
Some sites to see:
u Ephrata Cloister, 632 W. Main St. Guided and
self-guided tours available, plus picnic tables and a
museum store.
u Green Dragon Farmers Market, 955 N. State St.
One of the largest farmer’s markets in the area, the
Green Dragon features indoor and outdoor shopping
every Friday on its 30-acre site.
u Ten Thousand Villages, 240 N. Reading Road.
One of the largest fair trade organizations offers a
unique international shopping experience, featuring the work of artisans from developing countries,
along with a cafe.
ADAMSTOWN
Lancaster County has plenty of hidden treasures,
from historic sites to nature spots. But if you really
want to hunt for treasure, head for Adamstown.
With dozens of antiques shops and flea markets,
and thousands of dealers along a seven-mile stretch

of Route 272, this small town on the county’s northeast edge has clearly earned the name Antiques
Capital USA.
Adamstown offers a variety of shopping experiences, from individual shops to multi-dealer malls to
outdoor markets. Some offer a wide range of wares;
others specialize in items such as clothing, furniture,
garden, or architectural pieces.
Shops have their own days and hours of operation.
To plan your trip, visit antiquescapital.com for a listing of antiques shops and their hours, along with information on restaurants, lodging and special events.
INTERCOURSE
Located on Route 340, east of Lancaster, the village of Intercourse is both a tourist attraction and a
place where Amish, Mennonite and other local folks
do their shopping.
With more than 100 shops, restaurants and galleries, you can easily spend the day.
When you tire of walking, climb into a horse-drawn
wagon or buggy for a ride through the surrounding
countryside.
Some sites to see:
u Kitchen Kettle Village, 3529 Old Philadelphia
Pike. A village of 42 shops, restaurants and lodging
where you can find unique gifts, watch jams and jellies being made and sample a variety of foods.

The River Towns
COLUMBIA
Once known as the Gateway to the West, Columbia
was called Wright’s Ferry and the ferry boat was the
only means of transportation across the river.
Columbia has been part of numerous historical
events, most notably the burning of the bridge on
June 28, 1863, an effort to halt the Confederate advance toward Philadelphia during the Civil War.
The town’s historic architecture is recognized in the
National Historic Register. Columbia also has established itself an antiques center, with numerous antique co-ops as well as smaller shops and galleries.
Some sites to see:
u Wright’s Ferry Mansion, 38 S. Second St. Historic 1738 home owned by English Quaker and poet
Susanna Wright.
u National Watch and Clock Museum, 514 Poplar
St. Experience the evolution of timekeeping around
the world.
MARIETTA
In Colonial days, Marietta was a Susquehanna River

crossing town known as Anderson’s Ferry.
Thanks to river commerce and the Pennsylvania
Railroad, the town became a thriving lumbering and
iron smelting center.
Marietta’s early grandeur produced handsome Federal and Victorian homes that, now restored, have
earned it the designation of National Historic District.
Some sites to see:
u Shank’s Tavern, 36 S. Waterford Ave. Founded
by a retired ferryboat captain, Lancaster County’s
oldest continuously operating tavern recently celebrated its 200th anniversary.
u Haldeman Mansion, 230 Locust Grove Road,
Bainbridge. The childhood home of renowned scientist and professor Samuel Haldeman is now a local
history and Native American museum.

WRIGHTSVILLE
Located on the western banks of the Susquehanna
River in York County, Wrightsville is rich in history
and beauty.
One of the oldest buildings in Wrightsville is the
Wrightsville House at Locust and Front streets, which
received the Best Historic Preservation Award from
the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission.
Some sites to see:
u Burning of the Bridge Diorama, 124 Hellam St.
Tells of the burning of the Wrightsville-Columbia
Bridge, one of the longest covered bridges in the
world, to stop the eastern advance of Lee’s army.
u Historic Wrightsville Museum, 309 Locust St.
Built in 1871, the former home of John and Mary Redman features exhibits on the history of the town.

VISITING LANCASTER

Food for thought. . .
Food is a big part of who we are
in Lancaster County, whether it’s
the bounty of fresh produce grown
on our farms or the host of tasty regional specialties cooked up in our
kitchens. If you’re visiting Lancaster
County, here are some foods you
don’t want to miss:
WHOOPIE PIES
Legend has it that when children and even farmers found this treat in their lunch pail, they’d yell out
“Whoopie!” These sweet treats - a creamy center
sandwiched between two cake-like cookies - are a
Lancaster County favorite. They typically come in
chocolate with a vanilla cream filling, but there are
many variations, from red velvet to pumpkin.
WILBUR BUDS
More than a decade before Hershey
introduced the Kiss, H.O. Wilbur
and Sons in Lititz introduced the
Wilbur Bud. The creamy chocolates in the shape of flower buds
are made with the same recipe today
as they were in 1894. You can visit the Wilbur Chocolate Co. in Lititz and the Candy Americana
Museum to see how the candy is made, then stop at
the Candy Store to take some home. Samples are
free.
PRETZELS
Lancaster County
is home to America’s first commercial pretzel bakery
- the Julius Sturgis
Pretzel Bakery in Lititz,
which began making pretzels more than 150 years ago. Although Sturgis hard
pretzels are now made in Reading, Pa., you can tour
the historic Lititz bakery, twist your own dough and

shop in the bakery store. Lancaster is also
home to the oldest continuously family-operated pretzel bakery in America:
Hammond’s Pretzel Bakery.
Their hand-rolled sourdough pretzels are
available in stores
throughout Lancaster County and
beyond.
SHOO-FLY PIE
Molasses is the main ingredient in this Pennsylvania
Dutch treat that is so sweet you
have to shoo the flies away.
APPLE BUTTER
Apple butter isn’t really butter at all, but it still
tastes great on toast.
This thicker, spicier version of applesauce is
made by slow cooking
apples and other spices
in cider until the natural sugars caramelize,
giving it a deep brown
color.
CHOW-CHOW
It was said that when
women neared the end of
canning season, they combined what was left in their
vegetable garden to make
this pickled relish. Sometimes called “end of season” relish, it might contain
carrots, onions, cauliflower,
cucumbers, cabbage, celery,
corn, peppers or assorted
beans.
