Rolling hills. Patchwork farmlands. Quaint towns and villages. Vibrant cities. The bond between Lancaster and York Counties runs deeper than the water they share in the Susquehanna. It's a bond built on values, traditions and a passion for our past. While the people, stories and places along the river are at the heart of the Susquehanna Gateway Heritage Area, the region beyond the river also offers visitors a wealth of cultural and natural heritage attractions.
The Lancaster and York County Heritage Programs guide travelers to authentic heritage sites. Regional historic groups help visitors dig deeper into the past. County and state parks and local nature preserves offer outdoor recreation in a variety of natural settings. Local and state visitor bureaus connect visitors to nearby lodging, eating, shopping and entertainment.
