Lititz is located in Lancaster County, PA., home to the nation's
oldest settlement of "Plain" people- people of Amish,
Mennonite, and Brethren faiths. The Amish are not hard to identify.
They dress in old-fashioned clothing and speak three languages:
English, Old German and a combination of those languages called
Pennsylvania Dutch. For Amish farmers, who till some of the nation's
richest soil, the tractor is still a team of mules. |

transportation is still a horse-drawn buggy. And their homes are
still without a telephone and television or the electricity to
power them. The hard work of the Amish has helped make Lancaster
County a garden spot-a patchwork quilt of beautifully tended farms
that produce more food than any other non-irrigated county in
North America. Lititz is located 8 miles north of Lancaster in
the south central part of the state. Lititz is a small town that
still retains much of the calm dignity of its original Moravian
founders. For its first century, the town remained a closed community,
admitting only members of the small Protestant sect. Large colonial
buildings to house members of the religion were built around a
spacious square. By the mid 1750's, only ten years after the arrival
of its first settlers, Lititz was an established village.
Lititz is an enjoyable and educational day trip fun for the entire
family. For more information on Lititz, please visit:
