Ephrata, PA & Northern Lancaster County (Denver, PA & Beyond!)

Welcome to Ephrata, Denver, and Beyond

Ephrata, PA is located in northern Lancaster County, PA. It’s easily accessible, as it’s close to the PA Turnpike (I-76) and next to Route 222 (4-lane highway).

The Ephrata Cloister was founded in 1732 by German settlers. Their religious community consisted of celibate Brothers and Sisters along with married families. Their settlement of unique European style buildings is now a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public for tours and special programs.

Today, Ephrata is a thriving small town that takes pride in its heritage and in its own unique character.
