In Historic Lancaster, you'll find an outstanding selection of antiques, from common household artifacts to magnificent 18th century handmade furniture. The antique shops of Lancaster are almost museums in their own right, with their extensive array of vintage glassware, jewelry, toys and games, books, paintings, furniture, rugs, stained glass, guns, radios, records, lighting fixtures, and more. As the stately homes and public buildings in Square 13 attest, our Ancestors built beautiful things, and they built them to last. You can spend days exploring the fascinating contents of the numerous shops. You never know what you might find hidden away in some overlooked corner--a special piece that has been waiting years to delight you or someone you know. You might wonder how such a find could have been overlooked, until you recall what that wise man once said about another man's treasure... Or perhaps you won't find anything to buy, and all you'll take home is the memory of the marvelous things you've seen, and an experience that will keep you thinking about what life was like in a bygone era. That's quite a lot to take away, actually.
