'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. It is no surprise, then, to learn that Pennsylvania also offers some of the country's best antiquing. Adamstown, a village of around 2,500 in Amish settlement Lancaster County, has been dubbed "Antiques Capital, USA," thanks to its unusually high number of quality antique dealers. There are believed to be more than 5,000 working the area, and a visit to Adamstown could easily mean non-stop antiquing for days on end.
