    Hi Megan, great video! I am happy to say that we have been to all but the last place. About 20 years ago or so we discovered Lancaster County and fell in love. I am a quilter, seamstress and a crafter. I am self taught so I would look closely at the quilts for sale to learn how to make them and how to sew the bindings on. Red Caboose hotel is still a favorite place. We always go there near the end of our day. We stayed in one of the cabooses years ago. It was really cool. Different owners then. They had hoedowns(sp) in the barn on weekends which were loads of fun. Had hay bales for seats. We also styed at the Steamboat Inn one year for our anniversary. Another great experience and wonderful memories. Stayed at Kitchen Kettle Village for another anniversary. They treated us like royalty. Had a special fruit basket, flowers and balloons waiting in our suite. We used to come up there about every other month but my husband works a lot of weekends now so not quite as often. My favorite peaceful place is in the back of Kitchen Kettle Village. Although these past few years it has become more commercialized. (Is that a word?) They have expanded so much. The village and I are the same age, 65. Your video has opened a world of wonderful memories hence this long comment! Anyway, we love it up there and our next trip will be in a couple of weekends. BTW, we live in MD. :)

Some of the things we saw - Sight & Sound, Strasburg Railroad, and the tabernacle at the Mennonite Visitors Center. We drove the country roads and watched Amish farmers planting crops, saw Amish school children playing in a school yard and even came across a little home shop in a front yard. We attended an Amish Mennonite service on Sunday morning where the singing was beautiful! Our Amish buggy driver was so much fun. I'd go back in an instant!

    I ❤❤ Lancaster. I have taken so many trips there. There is a place called Dienners that is awesome and I believe it was ran by a Mennonite family. I also visited the Amish farm many years ago. I even named my son's with amish names and took pics of them in amish outfits as babies that we had bought in an amish store. The one thing I do miss is shoo-fly pie because I can not get it whenever I'm craving it.

    It’s a great program for troubled boys.

    When I was in the 4th grade my parents took me to an open Amish farm home in PA somewhere. When it was time to leave, I threw an absolute tantrum and refused to go. I knew I had found where I was supposed to be and begged to stay. I remember the Amish ladies looking and probably feeling sorry for me. In that short time that we were there it really made an impression on me. My dad and my brother went off to look at the ? barn and my mother and I walked around the house. They were making cookies. I saw and loved their clothes. My mother had always taken me to fabric stores so I recognized the good quality cuts and clean lines of their clothing and well made quilts. I asked all about the clothes, the colors, the buttons, and hooks and hair/ hats, etc. I loved the simple lines of the home and detailed wood work and the way they stored the chairs on the wall. The huge chocolate chip cookie made that much of an impression. My mothers family lives in Ohio so that is why we were so far north. The biggest thing I remember about them was their quiet spirit. You could just feel it. It was reverence and I just knew that is the way all humankind should be. Anyway, we went back to Texas. On the drive, I guess I would not stop talking about it and my parents finally showed me the Mennonite people's (they said all kinds of versions of but I forgot because the way they explained it, the Mennonites seemed to fit me better) homes, I have no idea how they knew or maybe it was a book or TV show but they talked about the electricity and why it might be a deal breaker for my love of air conditioning. Then again, we live in Texas where is it seriously a different kind of hot. I love the way they worship, the year taken off on a new marriage and the travel that year and the assembling of people. I love the community and education system and values. I am still fascinated by it all. My dream is to someday find an Amish place where you can go live and work for a week or so on vacation. Thank you so much for sharing. I love these kinds of videos.

      You must be delusional. Lancaster is Hell. Rude, unfriendly people. High property taxes. Endless road construction. Crime. More crime. Pompous gentrification of selected downtown areas that are surrounded by ghetto. Major opiate epidemic in the area. In fact, it's known as the Heroin Triangle. York/Lancaster/Columbia. It's nothing like Philly, but Philly keeps moving into Lancaster and it keeps going downhill. Only thing "hip" about Philly is the Manayunk area. And good pizza in Norristown. Otherwise it sucks just like Lancaster. Have you ever even crossed the PA state line? Probably not, if you think Lank-ister is so wonderful.

Thank you for sharing. I was one of the ones asking for suggestions so thanks. Also, Dieners is a great buffet place to have breakfast or dinner. Good prices and good food. And be sure to check out the road side stands on the country roads. They have delicious baked good and fresh flowers and canned jams and pickles. There is a really good one we always go to, if you go down harvest drive right in front of Kauffmans and follow the roads you will find the little stand. The sweetest kids are usually there running it with their dad. Unfortunately their mother passed away last couple years from cancer. You must stop by and by some sweet rolls. So delicious.

      You’ll probably want to stick to Intercourse, Bird in Hand, Strasbourg and the surrounding area’s. The rest of the county is quite “normal” made up of housing developments and commercial/industrial. The Amish are little more scattered with smaller communities in Ephrata, New Holland, Gap, Goodville, and West Hempfield, but heart of the tourist community is Intercourse.
      A little trivia fact:
      Lancaster is the second largest Amish community in the United States with Holmes County Ohio being #1 and Allen County Indiana being #3. Although Lancaster IS the oldest Amish community in the United States.

    We used to take the kids camping in that area, woke to cow mature (farm next to camp ground) loved it! Kids loved the drive through the country and we stopped at a lot of small side stands. One had the best blueberry pies. Do you know of Sadies? I remember going to her home to get the best sugar cookies. Kids picked out other goodies also. I think she sold her bakery goodies to the local stores. I don’t even remember how I got her address where they did the baking. That was years ago, always wondered if she still there. I no longer have the address it’s been so long. I live in Maryland so not far from Pa. my favorite place to visit.

    Hi again Megan, I live within 5 to 10 minutes to almost all the places you show. I visit Hayloft and the little veg. stand weekly. When I was younger I worked at Red Caboose and the past owner and I are still very close friends, having lunch together a lot. I love the trains also. I can hear them from my house. Thanks for sharing all this so others who come here can visit.......and the camels are very special to see, something you don't expect here.

    My husband grew up in that area and we come visit family there all the way from Georgia. One of our favorite things to do is Aaron and Jessica's buggy ride tours. They take you on an Amish buggy tour through the farms where cars can't go. We will definitely have to check some of these places out when we were up there in the fall!

    Just off of rt 30 where the Health Campus area is, there was Good's dairy. Many many years ago. They had great ice cream and llamas. A llama spit on my Dad once because he was talking to it. That was when living in Lancaster was nice. We had the sense to leave before it became a congested, high taxed bedroom community of neighboring large cities.

    When we still lived in NJ the Red Caboose Motel was a go to with our young kids. Last summer, after living in Florida for 23 years we once again stayed at the Red Caboose, this time with our granddaughter. It’s not a first class hotel by any stretch of the imagination, but the experience is priceless. When eating in the dining car, ask them to turn on the hydraulics and you will feel as though the dining car is moving. We will definitely be back before we die LOL. Lancaster is a beautiful area.

    We visit Lancaster County usually once a month except for the summer. Too busy, plus hot and sticky. We have been to/ or are aware of all the places you mentioned. Good choices. If anyone enjoys going to Amish business...these are two that I recommend. Fishers Hardware and Fabrics 1098 Georgetown Rd in Bart. They have a very nice selection of kitchen utensils, fabric, book and more - with very reasonable prices. For food and bulk items I recommend Centerville Bulk Foods,1098 Georgetown Rd, Paradise, PA 17562

They are adorable creatures. This made me so happy. I haven't been since I was a little girl and don't remember much. I'm in South Jersey. Thanks Megan.

      There's a petting zoo at Long's Park, but it never seems to be open. Landis Valley has some of the original farm animals brought over on the settler's ships. Heirloom stock cattle, geese, pigs, horses. I like Landis Valley and the farm museum.

    How about Rough & Tumble?? That’s a hidden treasure of Lancaster county. I’ve meet people from Holland, Australia, New York, Scott-land.... It’s a Steam Museum. It’s located along famous Route 30 in Kinzers PA. You’ll love it!! Great family friendly atmosphere.

    Thank you so much for inspiring a long overdue family vacation!!!

    I’ve been following your channel just for one week now, and I’m totally blown away from the different lifestyles and believes that are around the world other than the usual ones.

We will be staying at country Acres campground in Gordonville in August. I cant wait! I love traveling on the back roads stopping at the roadside stands for fruit and vegetables!

    Megan, I'm a new subscriber, loving your videos. Years ago my late husband and I spent a week in Intercourse Pennsylvania, we loved every second of our visit. We stayed at a B&B that was located next door to an Amish Farm who's brother owned the Farm right across the street ... every morning one of the Farmers came over for coffee while we were having breakfast and he would answer our questions about their lifestyle ... it was informative and truly relaxing. I would love to visit again, but I'm on the West Coast now so it would be a bigger more expensive trip. Thank you for sharing these places with us ... it brought back some wonderful memories and one of my favorite things that we did while there was stopping at a few of the Amish/Mennonite Roadside stands and getting homemade root beer and Shoefly Pie ... delicious.

    Strasburg Pa-- Village Greens Miniature Golf (amazing courses) and the Strasburg Creamery (homemade ice cream/waffle cones/deli & mini general store w/candy) antique stores and even a Ghost walk tour. Really cute historic town--close to Rockvale outlets.
