Synopsis

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania was idyllic rolling farmland back in the early nineteen-forties. Then a young couple with a small budget and big ideas settled in. They opened a little business beside Route 30. How, they wondered could they get all those passing travelers to stop for a while and share their money with them. Good food was one idea, exploiting the local Amish culture was even better.This book depicts the gains and losses that these decisions made, both to the area and their family. Such were in no small part responsible for one fiery episode.

About this title

From the Author:

It has been both fun and painful reliving the early events of my life. I believe others will find it interesting to see how the promotion of tourism changed the Lancaster County area as well as my own family. The family business, Dutch Haven, flourished while inwardly I blamed it for many of the troubles that affected my own life. It grieves me that my involvement in the Amish schoolhouse fire caused hurt to such innocent people. It is my hope that this public apology in some way atones for this misdeed.
