We are nestled amid the rolling hills of agriculturally-rich northern Lancaster County.  We are an interesting mix of old and  new...culturally, archtecturally, economically.  Vehicles share our wide, modern Main Street with clopping hooves of horse-drawn buggies of the area's Mennonite and Amish neighbors.


Residents LIVE in Downtown Ephrata.  Over 100 businesses cover almost any need.  Housed in historic buildings, dating back to several life times, line an early 20th-century streetscape of paved sidewalks, old-fashioned lamp poles, and furling banners. Street benches await the weary, planters refresh the eyes, and colorful awnings provide respite from the sun.

We are located in Pennsylvania's Amish country, within 90 minutes of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Hershey, and 20 minutes from Lancaster.  Downtown Ephrata is accessible to major cities, many shopping and cultural centers, airports and rail stations, yet amazingly unfazed by the urban presence.  We offer another kind of experience...one might say "vintage".

Stick around and visit with us...stroll our streets...see our sites...relax awhile...and get to know us....Downtown Ephrata.
