Fun tour in a must-visit town! - Sheryl was our guide on this lovely tour of Main St Lititz. Lititz was our favorite town in all of Lancaster County. It's cute and charming and the people are friendly. And to truly appreciate its history you should visit the Historical Foundation Museum at 145 Main Street (say hello to Corey, he's very helpful!) And you should take this fun little tour. We heavily recommend it!
