    philosophy of development at Willow Valley. The building is also a

    reflection of our organization’s commitment to intergenerational

    engagement. The Clubhouse opens a new world of possibilitiesfor those who live at Willow Valley and creates a spirit of vibrancy

    VISITING LANCASTER 

    FAST FACTSu  Lancaster is one of the oldest inland

    cities in the United States

    u  Lancaster was our nation’s capital for

    one day when the Continental Congress

    met here in September 1777

    u  Famous Lancaster County residents:

      George Ross, a signer of the

    Declaration of Independence and uncle of

    Betsy Ross

      Revolutionary War Gen. Edward Hand

      Abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens

     Civil War Gen. John F. Reynolds

      Robert Fulton, inventor of the

    steamboat

      James Buchanan, 15th president of the

    United States

    u  The Fulton Opera House in Lancaster

    is America’s oldest theater in continuous

    operation

    u  Milton Hershey began his candy making

    career in Lancaster with the Lancaster

    Caramel Company

    u  Lancaster is named for Lancashire,

    England. Its symbol is the red rose

    To look even briefly at the history of Lancaster County is toglimpse illustrious people and important events that are at

    the center of America’s development as a nation.

    A part of Penn’s Woods, chartered to William Penn in 1681,

    this area’s first permanent colony was established soon after

    1700 by Swiss Mennonites led by Hans Herr. German Menno-

    nites, French Huguenots, Welsh and English (many of whom

    were Quakers) and Scots-Irish soon followed.

    Lancaster County was the fourth county named in Pennsyl-

    vania, separating from Chester County in 1729. Local Indian

    tribes, most notably the Susquehannocks, traded with the

    settlers. That prosperous trade, plus Lancaster’s strategic lo-

    cation, made it a natural gateway to the West.

    More than two centuries later, Lancaster County is not so

    much a gateway as a destination in and of itself — attract-

    ing visitors to its picturesque, fertile farmlands, historic sites,

    vibrant arts community, amusements, world-class entertain-

    ment venues, restaurants, specialty shops and outlets.

    Use this guide to get you started on your visit, and enjoy

    your stay in Lancaster County.

    include a visit to the city of Lancaster,

    where a rich history dating to the 1700s

    meets a vibrant and sophisticated en-

    tertainment and arts scene.

    Lancaster was incorporated as a city

    in 1818. Its original boundaries, set in

    1742, extended one mile in each di-

    rection from Penn Square and remained fixed until

    a series of annexations began in 1947. Lancaster was

    an important 18th-century settlement on the primary

    route of westward expansion and a regional center

    serving the surrounding agricultural community.Today, Lancaster City is an architectural gem. Stroll

    down any street, in any direction and you will find

    historic buildings reflecting different architectural

    styles and periods. You’ll also find a fantastic art

    community with more than 90 art venues, shopping,

    over 300 places to dine, and cultural and entertain-

    ment attractions.

    Here are some sug

    gestions for your vis

    HISTORY

    geographic and civic hub features the Soldie

    and Sailors Monument, erected in 1874 to hono

    those who fought in the Civil War.

    TGIF

    First there were First Fridays, and then there were

    Second and Third Fridays. After that came Fourth

    Fridays in five different towns.

    It’s enough to make you say, TGIF.

    If you’re in Lancaster County on a Friday, there’s

    always somewhere to go.

    FIRST FRIDAYIt all began with First Friday in Lancaster in the

    early 2000s. Gay and Dennis Cox had opened City

    Folk Gallery on North Prince Street, with the idea of

    transforming that block into Gallery Row. First Fri-

    days were an effective way to get people out and

    about on Fridays to discover the burgeoning arts

    community.

    All they had to do was put out a bottle of wine and

    some cheese and crackers. If you feed them, they will

    come. It suddenly became trendy to take a look at

    the art, too.

    Years later, First Fridays in Lancaster are still a huge

    success. Not only do the art galleries attract people

    to check out the art and sample a few tasty bites,

    but restaurants, theaters and shops in downtown

    Lancaster are thriving as well. It seems the place to

    be on the first Friday of any month.

    Gallery Row did indeed turn into the destination

    that was first imagined, with an ever-growing line-

    up of galleries that includes Annex 24 Gallery, Arctic

    Sun Gallerie, Artisans Gallery, Christiane David Gal-lery, Cindy Schlosser Gallery on Market, D&J Scott

    Galleries, Franz Fox Studios and Gallery, Freiman

    Stoltzfus Gallery, Friendship Heart Gallery, Isadore

    Gallery, Julia Swartz Art Gallery, Lancaster Galleries,

    Liz Hess Gallery, Mio Studio, Pennsylvania Guild of

    Craftsmen, Red Raven Art Company, Sohotogo and

    Todd Snader Gallery.

    And Gallery Row isn’t just on Prince Street. It’s all

    Fridays in Lancaster County

    are cause for celebration

    Fridays

    WHERE TO GO First Friday: Downtown Lancaster

     Second Friday: Lititz

     Third Friday: Ephrata, Lancaster

     Fourth Friday: Columbia, Marietta,Wrightsville, Mount Joy

    Lititz Fire and Ice Festival.

    over the city.

    But downtown Lancaster isn’t the only Friday

    destination.

    SECOND FRIDAY

    On the second Friday of the month, Lititz is the

    place to be, even in the rain and in the cold. In

    February, Second Friday means the annual Fire

    and Ice Festival, with ice sculptures lining the

    streets, music and dancing, and the annual chili

    cook-off.

    In summer and fall, Second Fridays in Lititz are full-fledged festivals, with music, food and shops that

    welcome customers who can’t get in from 9 to 5.

    Nearly all of the downtown shops are open late, with

    special events to lend to the party atmosphere.

    THIRD FRIDAY

    Back in 2007, Ephrata adopted its own Third Fri-

    day’s a Charm, drawing people to town on the third

    Friday of the month.

    And downtown Lancaster comes alive with the

    sound of music on Music Fridays, every third Friday

    of the month. The City of Lancaster Office of Pro-

    motion (LOOP), Music For Everyone and Series 42

    are hosting a special concert series for 2015 Music

    Fridays. During the fall/winter months concerts will

    be held indoors, during the spring/summer months,

    concerts will be held in Binns Park.

    FOURTH FRIDAY

    Heading west, communities like Mount Joy, Colum-

    bia, Marietta and Wrightsville could hardly ignore thesuccess of first and second Fridays.

    “It seemed like a good idea for Columbia to have

    its own Fourth Friday,” says Cle Berntheizel of Garth

    Gallery in Columbia.

    So was born Fourth Friday in the river towns of Co-

    lumbia, Marietta and Wrightsville, celebrating their

    history and arts.

    On Fourth Fridays from 5 to 9 p.m., restaurants,

    shops and attractions open their doors for special

    events, tours and exhibits. In Columbia, that include

    Garth’s, Bully’s Restaurant & Pub, Geltz Gotz Goo

    deze, Gramma’s Home Accents, Hazel’s House A

    tiques, Trin’s Beans, Hinkle’s Pharmacy, Jonal Galle

    and Alverta Arts Shop, Keagy’s Produce, Prudhom

    me’s Lost Cajun Kitchen, Susquehanna Center for th

    Creative Arts, Susquehanna Glass Factory and W

    termelon Rind.

    Across the Susquehanna River, Wrightsville offe

    John Wright Restaurant and Weavings Ink Galler

    Heading north on the river, Marietta’s attractions in

    clude McCleary’s Public House, Shank’s Tavern, Bur

    ing Bridge Tavern and Half Nuts Popcorn Co.Mount Joy also laid claim to Fourth Friday, wit

    a variety of themes for each month. Most shops

    Mount Joy stay open on Friday evenings. While sum

    mer and fall are the busiest Fourth Fridays, winter

    Death by Chocolate and Fire & Ice Festival prove th

    even chilly weather will bring them out, if it’s choco

    late or ice sculptures.

    Tour the Towns

    Lancaster County’s rich history extends far beyond

    the city limits. Here are some other places you won’t

    want to miss during your stay here:

    LITITZ

    Picture a pleasant stroll along tree-lined streets,

    with unique attractions, specialty and antique shops,

    boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops and museums.

    The earliest settlers of Lititz were Swiss-German

    Mennonites who in 1710 fled religious persecution inEurope. They were quickly followed by the Moravi-

    ans and Amish. They built stone mills, wooden cov-

    ered bridges and log homes.

    Many 18th-century buildings have been wonderful-

    ly restored and can be enjoyed as you walk through

    town. And don’t forget to take some time to relax in

    Lititz Springs Park.

    Some sites to see:

    u Lititz Welcome Center and Train Station Rep-

    lica, North Broad Street, at the entrance to Lititz

    Springs Park.

    u  Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, 219 E. Main St.

    Home of the first commercial pretzel bakery in

    America. Take a tour and visit the bakery store.

    u  The Lititz Moravian Church, 8 Church Square.

    The Lititz Moravian congregation was organized on

    Feb. 19, 1749. The current church building was bu

    in 1787.

    u  Wilbur Chocolate Company,  North Broa

    Street. See how the chocolate is made, buy som

    sweets in the Candy Store and visit the Candy Ame

    icana Museum.

    EPHRATA

    Ephrata has its roots in a religious communit

    founded on the banks of the Cocalico Creek in 173

    by a German dissident named Conrad Beissel.

    What began as a hermitage for a small group o

    devoted individuals grew into a thriving communit

    of nearly 80 celibate members supported by an est

    mated 200 family members at its zenith in the mid

    18th century.

    Beissel’s theology, a hybrid of pietism and mystcism, encouraged celibacy, Sabbath worship, Ana

    baptism and the ascetic life. The community becam

    known for its a cappella music, calligraphy known a

    Frakturschriften and a complete publishing cente

    including paper mill, printing office and book bind

    ery.

    The community quickly declined after Beisse

    Food for thought. . .

    Food is a big part of who we are

    in Lancaster County, whether it’s

    the bounty of fresh produce grown

    on our farms or the host of tasty re-

    gional specialties cooked up in our

    kitchens. If you’re visiting Lancaster

    County, here are some foods you

    don’t want to miss:

    WHOOPIE PIES

    Legend has it that when children and even farm-

    ers found this treat in their lunch pail, they’d yell out“Whoopie!” These sweet treats - a creamy center

    sandwiched between two cake-like cookies - are a

    Lancaster County favorite. They typically come in

    chocolate with a vanilla cream filling, but there are

    many variations, from red velvet to pumpkin.

    WILBUR BUDS

    More than a decade before Hershey

    introduced the Kiss, H.O. Wilbur

    and Sons in Lititz introduced the

    Wilbur Bud. The creamy choco-

    lates in the shape of flower buds

    are made with the same recipe today

    as they were in 1894. You can visit the Wil-

    bur Chocolate Co. in Lititz and the Candy Americana

    Museum to see how the candy is made, then stop at

    the Candy Store to take some home. Samples are

    free.

    PRETZELS

    Lancaster Countyis home to Ameri-

    ca’s first commer-

    cial pretzel bakery

    - the Julius Sturgis

    Pretzel Bakery in Lititz,

    which began making pret-

    zels more than 150 years ago. Although Sturgis hard

    pretzels are now made in Reading, Pa., you can tour

    the historic Lititz bakery, twist your own dough and

    shop in the bakery store. Lancaster is als

    home to the oldest continuously family-ope

    ated pretzel bakery in America:

    Hammond’s Pretzel Bakery.

    Their hand-rolled sour-

    dough pretzels are

    available in stores

    throughout Lan-

    caster County and

    beyond.

    SHOO-FLY PIEMolasses is the main in-

    gredient in this Pennsylvania

    Dutch treat that is so sweet you

    have to shoo the flies away.

    APPLE BUTTER

    Apple butter isn’t really butter at all, but it st

    tastes great on toas

    This thicker, spicier ve

    sion of applesauce

    made by slow cookin

    apples and other spice

    in cider until the nat

    ral sugars carameliz

    giving it a deep brow

    color.

    CHOW-CHOW

    It was said that when

    women neared the end of

    canning season, they com-bined what was left in their

    vegetable garden to make

    this pickled relish. Some-

    times called “end of sea-

    son” relish, it might contain

    carrots, onions, cauliflower,

    cucumbers, cabbage, celery,

    corn, peppers or assorted

    beans.
