class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Amish country of Pennsylvania has always been a favorite destination for us over the years. It was nice to have an extended stay around Lancaster instead of the long weekend jaunts we used to take in the fall back in the days when we were working. If you are a camper, we highly recommend the Lancaster\/New Holland KOA. It is meticulously operated and maintained, it has open campsites that provide expansive views overlooking the nearby valley and farmlands.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-4711

Valley Forge was the site of winter\nencampment of the Continental Army. Over 3000 acres of monuments, meadows, and\nwoodlands commemorate the sacrifices and perseverance of the Revolutionary War\ngeneration. The scenic drive meandered around the park and provided ample\nopportunities for us to walk our \u201cfurry fidos\u201d. Highlights of the park were\nGeorge Washington\u2019s Headquarters, the Knox Covered Bridge, the National\nMemorial Arch and the Washington Memorial Chapel. They even had a used\nbookstore on the chapel grounds where I found some old Navy-Blue Jacket\nManuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\ncountryside in Lancaster county and the surrounding area is beautiful. Deb and\nI enjoyed driving the backroads and observing the Amish way of life. Fresh\nproduce, flowers, jams &amp; jellies were sold in roadside kiosks in front of\nmany homes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-4711 gallery-columns-3
