Lancaster, PA-- lots of god restaurants, shopping, central market, rooftop bars, antiquing, and many artists--both established and new. Short drive to many more historic sites and several hiking options.

This is a great suggestion. Lancaster has really come a long way and I don’t think a lot of people realize how nice it is now. It’s a great weekend destination.

If you are headed that way stop by gettysburg. It's not all civil war stuff. They have a great little downtown square.

Very busy time of year! I drive through Lanc Co country all the time & it is incredibly beautiful this time of year. Lots of the corn has been harvested or will be harvested in a month or so. Pumpkins & gourds are ready to be harvested & the stands & fields are full of colors as well as the trees.

I am 3rd or 4thing the Lancaster, Denver, Adamstown area for those exact reasons! If you like antique and flea markets there is a row of em you can't beat on one street. And the history and hiking is great! The trees will be beautiful. Food is scrumptious. If you go on a Friday please hit the Green Dragon! It will take almost all day. And yes, the Renaissance Fair!!
