Lancaster County is a very historical area. Being one of the first inland settlements in America there is history all over the place ! In 1681 William Penn was granted “Penn’s Woods” and it’s likely that the earliest settlers were fur traders. Early groups of settlers surviving to this day are Anabaptists from Germany and Switzerland, Mennonites and Amish who fled persecution and found relative tranquility in this region. The oldest surviving building in Lancaster County is the Hans Herr house, located in Willow Street and built in 1719. Since there is so much history there a dozens of museums that history enthusiasts can visit. Go onto the PA Dutch Country website to see them !

Not just a show, it’s an experience.
Reviewer: Robert S.
“I had the pleasure of being treated to the Christmas Show on Friday, Nov. 29th as a Birthday Gift. I have seen the show for many years now, and all I can say is that when you think you’ve seen the best show ever the year before, think again. I don’t know how they pull it off, but myself and those with me left with such an appreciation not only of the content, but especially of the talent displayed that night. This is a must-see, and I’m already looking forward to next year’s show.”
