I highly recommend a visit to Lititz, Pa. Just 20 minutes from our cottage, it was voted "The Coolest Small Town in the Unites States" in 2013 and it doesn't disappoint. It's truly picture perfect in every way with its tree lined streets, beautiful architecture and wonderfully unique shops, cafes and restaurants. Spend some time strolling through Lititz Spring Park feeding the ducks and relaxing. Feel like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory when you visit Wilbur Chocolate for delicious Wilbur buds and other sweets. Tour the Sturgis Pretzel Factory which was founded in 1861 and is the first pretzel bakery in America. You can twist your own pretzel and sample warm pretzels right out of the oven!
