Known as “Red Rose City”, Lancaster is a lovely place to call home. The “löhkle” Lancaster folks enjoy a quaint landscape surrounded by Amish farmlands and sweetened by rich Dutch-German heritage, farm fresh foods, outdoor beauty and a history as old as America itself.
Growing up in Lancaster is an amazing experience. Driving through the countryside, the kids really get a kick out of counting cows and goats, spotting Amish commuters riding in buggies, and waving hello to Amish mothers hanging clothes on the wash line.
Inside the Lancaster city limits, farmlands give way to historic buildings, old storefronts, rustic ranch homes, cozy country cottages and townhouses, as well as a few modern apartments and condos. Lancaster offers a hearty helping of downtown fun with its country surroundings, including farm-to-table eateries, boutique shopping, antique stores, art galleries and breweries (be sure to try the Kerplunk Chocolate Stout at the Taproom!).
