Good entertainment - Shirl was animated, informative, entertaining and fun. We learned about history and haunting. We were her last tour of the day and we were not rushed. Rather, we were given an extremely comprehensive tour.

Absolutely wonderful history and friendly people, don't miss it - This is absolutely a can't miss place right in the middle of main Street. You could probably go back to this place every time you visit lititz. But if this is your first or only time in lititz, you're missing out if you don't stop in. Everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly, plus they have some really cool museum items. You could spend 10 minutes in here or you could spend 90. But just don't walk past it without going in

Early American History comes alive in Lititz. - Kristin was an excellent guide. The stories about the historical families & businesses were very interesting & the photos of what the buildings looked like in the 1800s helped us to see what the buildings originally were before 20th century update. Lititz is such an historical town & the walking tour of Main Street was so interesting we will schedule other tours in the near future. Kudos to Kristin & the Historical Society for preserving an important era of Earl American History.

A well thought-out and planned community continues to thrive - While we have traveled to Lititz several times (previously to visit the chocolate factory!), my wife and I decided it was time to learn something about the town and its history. WOW! We were in for a real treat as Kelly, from the Lititz Historical Foundation, guided us on a history-filled tour. Don't miss the incredible story of how this planned community began and how it has evolved. Who knew!
