Lancaster County is nationally-known as a home for the Amish, otherwise known as “plain” people, who shun modernities in favor of a simple lifestyle. Amish families own businesses, services and of course farms throughout the county, in particular the eastern portion including Intercourse, Paradise, New Holland, Strasburg, Gap, Gordonville, Bird-In-Hand and surrounding villages. As a result, these areas experience a strong tourist draw every year with bus trips and tours running non-stop. Lincoln Highway, which runs through the heart of Amish Country, is home to several popular outlet shopping complexes Such as Tanger and Rockvale.
