Default Lancaster PA
We moved here from Berks County this past October. I often got in the car and headed to Lancaster just for something to do. when our son went to Lancaster School of Art & Design, I spent many afternoons just walking around the town. Anyway, the Lancaster Farmers Market is really a treat...it is the oldest farmers market in this country (or so THEY say). The ride on Route 23 (heading west) between Morgantown and Lancaster is a great ride...it passes Shady Maple, and by the way, you must take your family there. Also, there are many many private front lawn types of shopping, i.e. quilts, home grown everything. The produce is the very best you will every find. The tomatoes are to die for...as good as the Jersey ones, if not better. They should have all kinds of pumpkins, squash, apples, pears....I am envious. Also, there a great store called "Churchtown Supply", which is on the right side, heading west on Rt. 23. Churchtown is a really small area, so don't hurry down 23. The hours for most everything in the area are limited, so check the hours carefully. If you have any questions, you can call me or post me directly.
