"Spring...What a glorious thing! What could be better? A historic little inn that has been family run for 236 years,

surrounded by the verdant rolling countryside of Lancaster County, with its streams, covered bridges, and wonderful sunshine? Where the land is still tilled by huge, gentle draft horses. There are fruit trees in bloom, flowers everywhere, and the fragrant smell of the newly turned earth"

The Smithton Inn is a marvel in itself, just one hour West of Philadelphia, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. This County is the original home of the Pennsylvania Dutch, including the Amish, the Mennonites, and the Brethren Plain People.
