COUNTRY and a visit to
HISTORIC LANCASTER. The City was founded by John Wright in 1730 and named after his birthplace in England. It was the colonial capital for one day during the Revolutionary War when the Continental Congress fled Philadelphia.
You will have an opportunity to enjoy many styles of beautifully preserved architecture in the city's tree-lined streets, and peruse an amazing array of selected art galleries and shops in the middle of downtown. Our group has reserved staggered entrance tickets to the DEMUTH MUSEUM, housed in the former home and studio of modernist CHARLES DEMUTH. In addition to a selection of the artist's early paintings, a special exhibit of works by another local artist, MICHAEL TYMON is on view.
