Feel free to call us pretty...
"In the heart of Lancaster County's Amish countryside, Strasburg feels closely tied to the farmland around it, where horse-drawn buggies still share the road with passing cars. Roadside bakeries sell shoofly pie and homemade jams, while country shops, restaurants, and inns keep the town rooted in Pennsylvania Dutch tradition.
The town is especially beloved for the Strasburg Rail Road, the oldest continuously operating standard-gauge railroad in North America, where vintage steam locomotives roll past cornfields and red barns beneath wide open skies. Nearby covered bridges and rolling fields make leisurely drives especially scenic."
Pretty small towns in Pennsylvania offer historic streets, river views, mountain scenery, and quiet places for a scenic weekend getaway.
