Things to do in Lititz

Listed as one of the nation's top 10 Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Lititz is invitingly reminiscent of a small town in a Norman Rockwell painting and offers the perfect balance between tradition and progressiveness. The town, located just 50 miles west of Philadelphia, and a brief train ride to such metropolitan centers as New York City and Washington D.C., possesses a picturesque charm that dates back to the middle of the 18th century. 
 

• Hop a train – Philadelphia, New York City, Washington,D.C., beautiful beaches and mountains are a short drive or a short train ride from Lancaster’s Amtrak station.
