FALL in love with Lancaster!
Picture traveling through the golden countryside of Pennsylvania in the heart of autumn, where brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows frame quiet country roads and rolling farmland. This six-day escape is designed for travelers who want more than sightseeing—it is an opportunity to slow down and experience the rich culture, traditions, history, and hospitality of Lancaster County. From the comfort of your motorcoach, watch the scenery transform as you journey toward a place where Amish traditions remain an important part of everyday life. With three wonderful nights at the fabulous Amish View Inn, you'll have time to settle in, relax, and truly enjoy the region rather than simply passing through.
Your Lancaster experience begins with a journey into the heart of Amish country, where a knowledgeable step-on guide will introduce you to the area's distinctive way of life. Travel along peaceful backroads surrounded by rolling farmland and beautiful autumn scenery, stopping at local craft shops and Amish makers where traditional skills and craftsmanship are still celebrated. Experience the Full Amish Experience, including Jacob's Choice, an engaging and immersive look at Amish life, faith, family, and traditions that brings their story to life in a meaningful way. Enjoy an included lunch on an Amish farm, where you'll have the opportunity to savor delicious food and experience the warmth and hospitality of the Amish countryside. You'll also have time to browse, shop, and dine at charming Kitchen Kettle Village, filled with unique shops, handmade treasures, local specialties, and the welcoming spirit of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. This is more than simply seeing Amish country—it's an opportunity to slow down, look beyond the scenery, and connect with the people, traditions, craftsmanship, and stories that make Lancaster so special.
History and culture take center stage throughout the journey. Reflect on the courage and sacrifice remembered at the Flight 93 Memorial, then step into the elegant world of America's past during your visit to Wheatland Mansion, the former home of President James Buchanan. Enjoy an included lunch at a local favorite and then settle into a nostalgic Strasburg Railway train ride, watching the beautiful countryside roll past as the train carries you through the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Each experience offers a different glimpse into America's heritage, from deeply moving moments of remembrance to the simple pleasure of traveling by rail through the autumn landscape.
And when the sun goes down, the entertainment begins! Experience the spectacular storytelling and production of Sight & Sound Theatres' JONAH, followed by an evening of Broadway-style music, dancing, and excitement at the Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre's 42nd Street The Musical. Add delicious local meals, comfortable accommodations, beautiful fall scenery, Amish craftsmanship, fascinating history, and plenty of time to explore, and you have all the ingredients for an unforgettable getaway.
This fall, come discover Lancaster at its most beautiful—a journey filled with traditions to experience, stories to remember, flavors to savor, and memories you'll bring home with you.
