| Area Attractions Lititz, Pennsylvania Dutch Country & Lancaster County LITITZ - THE GEM OF LANCASTER COUNTY! Lititz is nestled in the heart land of rich farming country in Lancaster County, just 7 miles north of Lancaster city center. The earliest settlers were Swiss-German Mennonites in 1710 who fled religious persecution in Europe. They were quickly followed by the Moravians and Amish. For its first century, the town remained a closed community, admitting only members of the small Protestant sect of Moravians. Large colonial buildings to house members of the religion were built around a spacious square. By the mid 1750's, only ten years after the arrival of its first settlers, Lititz was an established village. Settlers had built old stone mills, wooden covered bridges and log homes. Many 18th Century town buildings have been wonderfully restored and can be enjoyed as you walk through town. Numerous local farms have been owned perpetually by the same families for 200 years. Be sure to stop by The Lititiz Museum to discover more about this wonderful town.

JANUARY January 25, 2009 - Cask Ale Night at the General Sutter - 4:30 Cask Ale Fridays continues this month with a couple of superb ales. This month selection is the classic an English Bitter which is the first beer to bear the name Ridgeway, and it is a proud flagship indeed: a perfect example of what the Brits call a 'session ale' - the kind of beer you can sit with and enjoy endlessly as the hours roll by at the pub. In the south of England, they call their prized ale 'Bitter' because, when it first appeared, it was distinguished by a crisp, refreshing hop bitterness. A good bitter is superbly drinkable, full of flavor, but light in body and not so high in alcohol. Ridgeway Bitter is in this great tradition, but it is also entirely unique. FEBRUARY February - Fire and Ice Festival - One-block sculptures to be placed throughout downtown Lititz during daylight hours.
