Lancaster Bible College recently unveiled a new webpage that serves as a helpful and informative guide to all there is to do around our area — not only right outside campus but in nearby cities as well.
Nestled among the rolling green hills and charming farmland of Lancaster County, LBC offers an exceptional prime location surrounded by endless opportunities for exploration. From local attractions and shopping outlets to unique dining experiences, there’s something for everyone just a short drive from campus. Additionally, with Lancaster’s central location, you’ll find countless options for memorable day trips to nearby cities and towns. No matter the season or weather, Lancaster ensures you’ll never run out of things to do!
LBC’s “Around Lancaster” page also helps visitors plan their stop in the county by linking to the Lancaster Visitor Center at discoverlancaster.com.
With live links to restaurants, excursions, art activities, escape rooms, sporting events, theme parks and more, the page is organized into several helpful sections:
