What to do and see in Intercourse, Pennsylvania (PA): The Best Free Things to do

March 16, 2022 Emerita Lamoureux

Intercourse (population: 1,274 as of 2010 census) is an unincorporated village and census-designated place in Leacock Township, Lancaster County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, 10 miles (16 km) east of Lancaster on Pennsylvania Route 340. Intercourse is a popular site for tourists because of its location in "Amish country" and its sexually suggestive name. The movie Witness was filmed in Intercourse as well as other parts of the surrounding area, and For Richer or Poorer was set there, though not filmed in Intercourse. Because of the town's unusual name, the sign posts for the town are frequently targeted by thieves.

This covered bridge is also known as Eshleman's Mill Covered Bridge or Paradise Bridge. Built in 1845 and rebuilt in 1893, the bridge spans the Pequea Creek in Lancaster County. We spent a day driving through the countryside and enjoyed locating these historical bridges!

This place is the best...except it is so hard to decide what to buy. The staff is welcoming and helpful. It can be overwhelming; but, the staff answers questions with a smile.And, who knew you could mix balsamic vinegar with seltzer water for a refreshing beverage?

A must stop if you are in the Lancaster area! From little boutique shops, crafts, souvenirs, tasty Amish treats, and unlimited samplings if homemade jams and jellies packed fresh by the Amish, you won’t be bored! Prepare to spend a whole day there shopping, browsing the unique stores, and even grabbing a bite to eat in the cafe, or Kling House Restaurant! Don’t forget to leave without grabbing a yummy homemade Amish ice cream cone! That is the best part of the day! You won’t regret it!!

This place has the best pretzels and they are hand made while you watch. They also had a peach smoothie to die for when we were there. They had a special with 6 pretzels for $11.00. A bargain for a big family. They also had hot dogs in a pretzel or pepperoni. The best fresh pretzels hands down!

They had a lot of good finds, good quality Amish furniture and the prices were reasonable, they were cheaper then other Amish stores I've been to elsewhere. Fell in love with a few pieces, if you like country style furniture you for sure find something there you'll like.

The Old Candle Barn

Reviewed By gypseepam - Toms River, United States

I love to walk around this store. The aroma as soon as you walk in is homey and delicious. You won’t find merchandise like theirs in a big franchise box store. You won’t regret any purchase there and it will add to the charm of your home, and if you need a personal unique gift- go here! Candles, real and electric in abundance. Wall art , rugs, runners, place mats, chair pads, dishes, seasonal decor. Chachkies galore!
