OUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CHARTER WAS SIGNED MAY 19, 1922.
Northeastern Lancaster County, with Ephrata as its hub, is an area of exciting diversity. Rich in the traditions of the Pennsylvania Dutch and Amish cultures, tranquil farmland scenes blend with the bustle of modern day commerce -- offering resident and visitor alike a sometimes unexpected glimpse of different worlds converging in a single locale. Located at the geographical heart of all Lancaster County and Hershey attractions, Ephrata and its surrounds supply the traveler with a wealth of unique accommodations, forays into history or shopping across a truly broad spectrum of interests. In spring, summer and fall, festivals and extravaganzas dot the landscape, and nowhere is the majesty of winter more evident than in the spectacular Christmas lights of the Ephrata Cloister. The eighteenth century communal society still breathes its stoic serenity across the minds of those who walk its restored perimeters.
  In 1996, a 23-member committee was established to attract and promote tourist business in Northeastern Lancaster County. The first-ever Chamber member brochure highlighting businesses and attractions in the service area was produced and is distributed throughout Pennsylvania and in the Baltimore/Maryland, New York and New Jersey areas.
