Lancaster County
Pennsylvania Dutch country
Lancaster County appears in several U.S. states, most notably Pennsylvania, where it designates the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country—home to large Amish and Mennonite communities.
The name evokes horse-drawn buggies, quilts, and traditional farming.
We drove through Lancaster County and stopped at a roadside stand for shoofly pie.
Other Lancaster Counties exist in Nebraska, South Carolina, and Virginia.
