Driving through town |
Adams County, Pennsylvania is a highly rated tourist area. However, Adams County
probably does not sound at all familiar to you.
But I bet you have heard of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Gettysburg is listed as “Travelers’ Choice
2013 Winner – Destinations on the Rise” by Tripadvisor.
Ghettysburg is a historic town, steeped in civil war
history. Military and architecture
buffs love touring the area. I have
driven through historic Gettysburg more times than I can count. I always think that I really should stop and
enjoy the sights someday. Or perhaps, make arrangements to spend a night. Somehow, I never do.
Perhaps, I have only a lukewarm interest in the Civil War
era. That could be the reason why I
only drive through Gettysburg year after year on the way to the National AppleHarvest Festival, which is also located in Adams County. Or maybe I feel like I’ve already seen
Gettysburg as I drive through. I’m not sure why I don’t feel the need to stop.
Today, however, I read a Squidoo lens by leahjsongs that gives me even more
reason to stop and enjoy Adams County.
Leahjsongs tells us about the award winning wines at Adams County Winery. If you enjoy wines, I hope you take a peek at her Adams County Winery review.
Are you surprised that there are award winning wineries in
the mid-Atlantic states? Before moving to this area, I had never imagined that
wineries existed here. Not only do they exist, but they produce wines that I
like very much. Boordy Winery is a good example. Boordy Winery is not located in Adams County, PA. It is located in Maryland. But since we were on the topic of good mid-Atlantic wines, I had to mention it.
Returning to the topic of Adams County attractions, you can
learn more about Gettysburg at
Destination Gettysburg which is the official Gettysburg website and see more of the National Apple Harvest Festival in my
pictorial.
If you are familiar with any more Adams County gems (or mid-Atlantic wineries) please let me know!
