Erb's Mill covered bridge, Lititz

You may have never heard of Lititz, Pennsylvania but you have probably enjoyed some of the great American treats that came from here. On your small-town visit, Lititz should be at the top of the destination list.

It is known as a foodie town and probably most known for the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, which was the first commercial pretzel bakery in the United States. Stop by for a tour and a lesson on pretzel twisting. Then, balance your salt with some sweet flavor at the Wilbur Chocolate Factory, which has been operating since 1894. They are famous for their Wilbur Buds.

Walk off the Lititz treats as you tour the neighborhoods in the Dutch Country town and admire the unique architecture of the homes and buildings reminiscent of the town's settlement in the 1720s. Notice the Moravian star, which hangs from most homes, hotel porches, and churches. It is a reminder of their heritage when the town was first established by Moravians, who wanted a region that was accepting of all religions. Rest for the night at one of the area's bed-and-breakfasts, like the Hammer Creek Hideaway Bed and Breakfast, which will add a homey element to your visit.
