Lancaster
Private Jet Charter

A relatively small city of seven square miles and a population of 60,000 residents, Lancaster has undergone a recent rejuvenation to bring it into the modern world. Located in the heart of Lancaster County’s Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Lancaster was incorporated in 1742. Originally settled by Swiss Mennonite families who had been persecuted in parts of Europe, their descendants, the traditional sect known as the Amish, can still be seen traveling by horse and buggy. Deemed as the small city that changed the face of America, Lancaster was the capital of the colonies for one day when the Continental Congress fled Philadelphia before the Revolutionary War. Some of its most famous residents include President James Buchannan, US Representative and abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens, painter Charles Bemuth, and entrepreneurs F.W. Woolworth and Milton S. Hershey, Agriculture is still a main industry in the area, but Lancaster has a diversified economy that also includes manufacturing, tourism, modern technology and health care.

Historic Downtown Lancaster offers much to discover, from 18^th century buildings to arts and cultural attractions to restaurants and shops. Shop for local produce, farm-fresh eggs and meat such as scrapple or Pennsylvania Dutch sausage at the Lancaster Centre Market, the oldest continuously-operating farmers’ market in the US that is now housed in an 1889 Victorian brick building. While downtown, why not enjoy a Broadway caliber show at the 160-years-plus old Fulton Theater, the oldest operating theatre in the US, or browse the Precisionist artwork of Charles Bemuth at the Bemuth Museum. Families will love the Hands-on House Children’s Museum of Lancaster, which offers interactive exhibits, and the North Museum of Nature and Science, with its exhibits, dinosaur gallery and planetarium. Nearby, you can tour Wheatland, the home of 15^th US President James Buchannan, the predecessor of Abraham Lincoln. If mainstream shopping is your thing, you’ll find plenty on offer at Park City Center. This mall features more than 150 stores, including many name-brand offerings. Lancaster County is also home to an eclectic mix of themed attractions, including:

• Long’s Park with a lake, petting farm and playgrounds
• Dutch Wonderland, a family-friendly amusement park
• National Watch and Clock Museum
