Lancaster

The city is in the heart of Lancaster County, known for its Amish and Mennonite population, its picturesque and productive farms and its heaping platters of Pennsylvania Dutch food. The Visitor Information Center, on US 30 at the Greenfield Road exit, presents a brief orientation to the area through exhibits, a multi-image program, brochures and maps.

Directions and Maps

N.B. We've had reports that these directions are inaccurate in some places because of construction in the Lancaster area. They're the same directions that are available on the Hotel Brunswick website ( as of March, 2005) and so I can only offer an alternate route along the route I travel, which is Harrisburg & Points West. I take 72 from Route 283, which turns into N. Prince St, heading South.

We strongly recommend using MapQuest or some other mapping website to double check your route inside Lancaster -- the downtown can be rather tricky.
