      Visiting the Pennsylvania Amish

      The Pennsylvania Amish of Lancaster County are America’s oldest Amish settlement, where thousands still live a centuries-old “Plain” lifestyle. Arriving in Amish Country allows you to step back in time to enjoy a slower, more peaceful pace – one where the horse & buggy remains a primary form of transportation, and where windmills dot the landscape, providing power harnessed from nature. Always a vital part of Lancaster County culture, the PA Amish are involved in agriculture as well as an array of businesses and cottage industries. On our journey enjoy our Exclusive backcountry tour of the Penn Dutch Country, it’s a one-of-a-kind tour.


      The Hit Show MOSES

       From the banks of the Nile River to the depths of the Red Sea, MOSES is a spectacular entertainment experience!


      Set adrift as a baby, he is an unlikely hero – until God calls him to lead His people out of Egypt and into the Promised Land. Journey with Moses as he ventures through the wilderness, encounters God at the burning bush, and ascends to the top of Mount Sinai.  Experience one of the Bible’s most epic stories as MOSES comes to life with massive sets, special effects, and live animals in this original stage production from Sight & Sound Theatres.

      As usual Best of Times and Danversport rose to the occasion and put on a GREAT Irish Celebration! The food was delicious and served quickly and very hot. The wait staff were great What a fun, entertaining show. I had a pleasant surprise personally, because over 40 years ago I used to go out of my way to see George Casey on Cape Cod perform at the steakhouse and here he was in Danversport great comedian.!
