I was in Lancaster over the weekend! I was there for an Amish/Mennonite quilt/furniture auction to benefit Haiti. The quilts were amazing and the hand made furniture was absolutely gorgeous. I'll add some pictures to give you an idea of their beautiful work.
Kitchen Kettle Village is fun to walk through, has many little shops and a great restaurant called the Kling House. Across the street from there is the Old Country Store - a wonderful quilt shop. They have a great selection of fabric and a large display of quilts for sale. Upstairs from there is the People's Place Museum. It's very small, but nice to walk through for some history.
These are both on Route 340 and if you head down the road toward Bird in Hand, you'll see many other quilt shops.
If you like Christian shows, there's the Sight and Sound Theater, which puts on nice shows, usually with live animals. There's also the American Music Theater, which has all kinds of shows from singers to comedians.
Shopping did you say? Lancaster is absolutely loaded with tons of outlet stores and regular stores all along Route 30.
