Experience historic Lancaster City one story—and one sip—at a time! We’ll begin in the heart of downtown Lancaster’s historic Penn Square before setting out to explore more than 300 years of local history, all packed within a few walkable blocks. As we make our way through charming streets and hidden alleys, you’ll discover the people, places, and stories that helped shape Lancaster and the nation. Along the way, we’ll explore landmarks connected to the nation’s oldest continuously operating farmers market, historic theaters and churches, the birthplace of the famous Conestoga Wagon, homes of notable Lancaster residents, and much more. Your guide will bring Lancaster’s past to life through fascinating stories, colorful characters, architecture, art, and local history.

An Amazing insight into Lancaster

An amazing historical tour of downtown Lancaster. An indepth understanding of the part Lancaster play in the history of the United States and the incredible people who lived or stay in this historical city. So many historical events took place here. Our guide was truly a walking library of facts. Awesome.

Don't miss out!

This was a wonderful experience. We weren't aware of how much history happened in Lancaster. It's such a small town to have this much history. The city is easily walkable. The "inside stories" are what make it even more special. We will do again and bring friends next time.
