You won't be the only visitors sampling the bucolic charms of Lancaster County, heartland of the Mennonite and Amish communities. Museums, historical villages and quilt shops in Ephrata and Intercourse give a foretaste of their culture and way of life, at a remove from modern civilisation. Meander about the countryside, where farmers still cultivate their land with a plough, and where local products and regional specialities are sold at roadside markets.
