Christiana, PA History
Christiana is an unincorporated area in Eastern Lancaster County PA, pn the Chester County line and along PA Route 30.
Arousing the nation in 1851, the Christiana Resistance, referred to by many as the "Christiana Riot" was considered by Frederick Douglas "The Battle for Liberty". This struggle is often thought of as "The first battle of the Civil War."
The 1850 federal Fugitive Slave Act strengthened the position of slaveowners seeking to capture runaways. Pursuing four escaped slaves, Maryland farmer Edward Gorsuch arrived Sept. 11, 1851, at the Christiana home of William Parker, an African American who was giving them refuge. Neighbors gathered, fighting ensued, and Gorsuch was killed. This incident did much to polarize the national debate over the slavery issue.
Christiana Underground Railroad Center at Historic Zercher's Hotel
The first spark in the kindling of the Civil War began when a Maryland plantation owner came to Christiana to retrieve four of his slaves - runaways. The 1850 federal Fugitive Slave Act gave rights to the slave owner to retrieve his slaves and to have arrested those who protected them from recovery. Four men of the Quaker faith and 34 African American former slaves stood against the Maryland plantation owner and his son; the posse that came with them had fled at the start of the resistance. In the end it was the plantation owner's life that was lost. The events that followed the resistance divided the nation and less than ten years later the North and South were at WAR!
The self-guided museum provides fascinating evidence of the resistance; bibliographies of the persons and the locations of the Underground Railroad Stations are presented through the collective efforts of local historians. The information is well documented in an easy to follow educational format.
The Christiana Underground Railroad Center at Historic Zercher's Hotel is an authentic site recognized by The National Park Service/ U. S. Department of Interior's Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program.
Christiana Fire Company
The Christiana Fire Company was organized in 1882. In 1885, Isaac Broomell and James D. Reed supervised the building of the first fire house, located on East Slokom Avenue next to the Masonic Hall. The second floor was used as a meeting place for the borough council chamber, a number of public boards and even several secret organizations.
A new fire house was constructed in 1949 and again in 2002. Today, the Christiana fire Company is located at 214 South Bridge Street in Christiana. It hosts a number of events and fundraisers throughout the year, including an apple dumpling sale and monthly breakfasts.
Freedom Chapel Dinner Theatre
In 2003, theater native Dollie Fowler transformed Christiana’s old fire station on 15 North Bridge Street into the Freedom Chapel Dinner Theatre. Today the dinner theatre features centralized staging, graded seating, and historical art and artifacts in addition to its wholesome shows.
Before the performance, guests enjoy a sit-down meal and dessert. Amish Farmland tours and Underground Railroad tours are also available.
Lancaster County Amish
The farmlands of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country are among the most productive in the nation. But many of the farmers here are different from most Americans; different by choice. For these are the Old Order Amish and Mennonites, also known as the "Plain People".

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, known as the Garden Spot of America since the 18th century, is located in the southeastern part of the state of Pennsylvania. The city of Lancaster is the county seat.
Lancaster County is a popular tourist destination, due mostly to the many plain sect residents, known as the Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch. The term 'Pennsylvania Dutch' comes from the earlier use of "Dutch" to apply to all immigrants from middle Europe. They are the descendants of Germans who immigrated in the 18th and 19th centuries for the freedom of religion offered by William Penn, and were attracted by the rich soil and mild climate of the area.
Lancastrians can easily spot a visitor to the area by how they pronounce the word Lancaster. Locals and people from nearby counties in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware pronounce Lancaster as LANK-ister. This is unusual as most Lancasters in the United States are pronounced as LAN-cast-er, though Lancashire, England, and Lancasters in Texas, Ohio, and South Carolina also use the LANK-ister pronunciation. The inhabitants of Lancaster County speak with the Susquehanna dialect. The Susquehanna dialect is most commonly used in the Lancaster, York, and Harrisburg areas, and incorporates influences from the Philadelphia accent and that of the Pennsylvania Dutch.
As of 2005, there were 490,562 residents in Lancaster County, representing 4.2% growth since 2000 and 11.3% growth since 1990.
