Lancaster County Pennsylvania also known as "Dutch Country" was for the longest time predominately habitated by ""Amish" and Mennonnite farmers who were mostly descendants of the early German and Swiss settlers. This has greatly changed in the last several decades as Lancaster is quickly becoming a major eastern city.  Industry, Commerce and especially Residential Real Estate are booming. The Amish still hold influence over the area and have made their own mark with local favorites such as Love-Lace Manor Bed&Breakfast,Hershey Farm RestaurantMiller's Smorgasbord Buffet. To learn more about the Amish, visitTheamishcountry.com.
