Though time travel isn’t possible yet, there are parts of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where it certainly feels like it could be. Also known as Amish Country, this region is home to the oldest Amish settlement in America. Thousands of Amish live a centuries-old lifestyle here, and it’s not unusual to see horse and buggy carriages riding down the road.

This historic city was a major thoroughfare in the 1800s. Visitors can learn all about the history of the railroad at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, ride on the Strasburg Railroad, and see miniature versions at the National Toy Train Museum.
