the world. In a matter of minutes, one can take a trip
on the Strasburg Railroad, visit Dutch Wonderland
Amusement Park, shop at the Rockvale Outlet Center, or

one of the many theatres in the area - including Sight & Sound Entertainment

Dinner Theater.
Hersheypark
and Hershey's Chocolate World can be reached with only
an hour's drive, or experience history by

National Battlefield Historic Park or the Brandywine
Battlefield Park. Our state
capitol Harrisburg, which is only 45 minutes to an
hour away.
The area is rich with
history and one can visit the many historical sites
located throughout the area. For instance, the
Christiana Riots took place right in the area. Nearby is
the historic Brandywine Battlefield Park and the Barnes
Brinton House, a 1714 tavern authentically restored as
living history museum. This is just the tip of the
iceberg when it comes to area history. For more about
our local history, go to the Atglen

And if it's food you're after,
Lancaster has many farmer's markets where fresh
fruit, produce, and baked goods are in abundance.
Information on dining out in PA can be attained at the Pennsylvania
