5 days in Lancaster Itinerary

The heart of Pennsylvania's famous "Dutch Country," Lancaster is one of the nation's oldest inland cities, founded in 1730.

Venture out of the city with trips to Brandywine River Museum of Art (in Chadds Ford), Longwood Gardens (in Kennett Square) and Hagley Museum And Library (in Wilmington). There's still lots to do: contemplate the long history of The Amish Farm and House, take in the history at Gettysburg National Military Park, stroll the grounds of Gettysburg National Cemetery, and find something for the whole family at Dutch Wonderland.
