Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Childhood memories of time spent with her Pennsylvania Dutch grandparents give author Allonna Smith a special affinity for the unique offerings of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. She has traveled thousands of miles scouring the area--from the quiet back roads to the hustle and bustle of the heart of Amish country--in search of the best food, fun, and lodging to suit travelers of every budget. Lancaster County also includes useful historical information on the settling of the Amish and Mennonites as well as an introduction to their cultures and beliefs, where to find the best Pennsylvania Dutch folk art, recipes from area bed-and-breakfast owners, and detailed maps.

This review is from: Lancaster County: The Best Fun, Food, Lodging, Shopping and Sights (Paperback)

I was raised in Lancaster County, but I have not lived there regularly in over thirty years, but I do enjoy visiting family and old friends. I bought this book to keep current with a wider set of recommendations. I am very impressed with the large number of listings, the accuracy of those I know, and the number of hard to find establishments included, and, especially, the list of purveyors of homegrown, healthy foods in small towns and the countryside I want to try. This is the best book of its kind I have seen.

This very thorough book will be helpful for someone who likes traveling to the Amish Lancaster County, with detailed information about activities and attractions in the area (you should Google everything before you go for updated info!). Very useful book about that very scenic area of Pennsylvania.
