Our last day in Lancaster County, we wandered into a little town called Strasburg, PA. Not 
having visited Strasburg, I didn't know that it was a destination for train lovers. But if you like trains, there's plenty for the train lover to do - including the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, the Strasburg Railroad or the National Toy Train Museum.
I very much enjoyed the architecture of this little dot on the map. We spotted a fantastic Victorian home as we were driving into town - just down the street from a much older stone home. Many of the homes on Main Street have what look like barns behind them - possibly a remnant of the Amish heritage of the area?
The downtown area has several lovely shops as well as the obligatory ice cream shop (you're
either going to find ice cream or pretzels when visiting this area). You could choose to take an 
Amish Neighborhood Tour. And just down the road is a fantastic antique shop, called the Strasburg Antique 
Market.So if you do visit Lancaster County, especially if you enjoy trains, I'd recommend you drop by Strasburg!
