The Pequea Valley School District is located in Lancaster County and the scenic Pennsylvania Dutch Country.
This is an area that residents have grown to love. Here you'll discover Amish communities where life moves
at a slower pace and centers around time-honored traditions and values. You'll find beautiful scenery
dotted with one-room schoolhouses and wooden covered bridges, modern farm machinery being pulled
behind four-and six-mule teams, homemade clothing and quilts gently blowing in the breeze.
Sure, we have our busy streets and highways. But once you turn off the main roads, you'll experience the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere that draws so many urban and suburban dwellers back here year after year. Quiet, rolling farmlands dotted with windwheels and teams of horses or mules. So peaceful and relaxing.
In western and southern Lancaster County, the hills are more pronounced, and the views more dramatic. Along the Susquehanna River you'll find many scenic overlooks that offer breathtaking views of the river far below.
The city of Lancaster is the county seat and hub of Lancaster County. It has an interesting history and character. But so do the many smaller towns and villages spread throughout the county. Towns like Strasburg, Bird-in-Hand, Intercourse, and Paradise. These villages have retained their own distinctive character and individuality.
You can drive to any point within Lancaster County in about an hour or less.
