St. Peters Village

Established in the 19th century as an industrial village for the local mining, forging and quarrying operations, St. Peters Village was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. Located along a stretch of French Creek featuring waterfalls, boulders and hiking trails, the village retains its historic appearance and charm thanks to preservation efforts. In addition to hiking and rock-hopping, there are several interesting shops in the village to explore. The bakery is a local favorite, offering coffee, tea, pastries, treats and breakfast and lunch options - try to grab a seat on the back deck overlooking the rocks. The Inn at St. Peters also has dining options and an outdoor patio. There are a couple of interesting art and antique shops, and even a vintage pinball arcade with working games - something for everyone! 

French Creek State Park

Over 7700 acres, French Creek State Park is the largest area of  contiguous forest between NYC and DC with 35 miles of hiking trails. Campsites available for tents, trailers  and RVs.

Longwood Gardens

Stunning botanical gardens with over 1000 acres of amazing horticultural displays, including native and exotic plants, musical fountains, a café, restaurant and beer garden.

Hopewell Furnace

Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site is a historical iron-making site from the 18th century offering a look at how industrialization in America began. Typically  offers apple picking in its orchard during September and October. 

Valley Forge

Site of the winter encampment of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, chosen strategically by George Washington for its proximity to Philadelphia and its position atop a plateau, forming a "natural fortress." 

Amish Country

To the west of St. Peters is Lancaster County, a.k.a. Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Exploring this area you will likely see many Amish people traveling by horse and buggy - watch out for them on the roads (and be aware that having their picture taken offends their beliefs)! There is a lot of opportunity for shopping in the area, e.g. locally handcrafted furniture, handmade quilts, farmstands with fresh produce, and lots of antiques - Adamstown, PA is known as "The Antiques Capital of the world."

Bey's Rock Shop

Awesome shop for anyone interested in rocks, minerals, fossils and crystals.

Morgantown Coffee House

Cute spot for barista coffee with a good brunch and lunch menu run by an acclaimed local restaurateur. 

Breweries and Wineries

Chester County is home to several breweries and wineries that offer tours and tastings.
