Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Pennsylvania
You'll find a slower pace in Lancaster County, where horse-drawn buggies clop down country lanes past weathered barns and covered bridges. Historic sites and museums nod to the past—railroad trains, antique toys, old clocks—and working farms allow a glimpse into the austere life of past centuries. In small towns with charming names like Bird-in-Hand, Mount Joy and Paradise, you can browse through antique shops and farmers' markets and sample German comfort foods like shoofly pie and schnitzel.
