'Antiques Capital USA' Is A Bustling Year-Round Pennsylvania Paradise Of Vintage Markets, Shops And Malls
Pennsylvania is a state full of history, having been founded as a Quaker community way back in 1681, and later the second state to be ratified by the U.S. Constitution. It was the setting of the Battle of Gettysburg, and today it boasts both America's oldest farmer's market in the city of Lancaster and the world's oldest drive-in movie theater.
