PA makes day-tripping easy. Then, again, we have so many potential day trip destinations that whittling them down to one can be quite challenging. If you’re on the hunt for a relaxing way to spend a day, journey to this tiny Amish town in Pennsylvania. There, you’ll get a glimpse of Amish life on an authentic buggy tour before exploring the rest of the town that draws tourists from all over the country.
Nestled in Lancaster County, Intercourse is home to just over 1,270 residents, including a large Amish population.
Start your visit in Intercourse with a horse-drawn buggy ride from AAA Buggy Rides. The tour company offers several options - from a four-mile buggy ride to an Amish dairy farm tour - to give you a glimpse of authentic Amish life.
Then, after your tour, how about a little shopping? Stop by Peaceful Valley Furniture, brimming with handmade Amish furniture from rocking chairs to birdhouses.
And, if you're into quilting or just want a locally-made quilt, visit The Old Country Store. Carve out plenty of time to visit the quilt shop that also sells a selection of crafts and preserved foods, perfect souvenirs from Intercourse.
Finally, you're probably hungry right about now, right? Sit down to a meal at Kitchen Kettle Village, or head less than three miles to Gordonville's...
