Makers Tours

York County was officially formed in 1749, but even prior to our humble beginnings, we were known as an area where great things are made. From iconic chairs made in Hanover to world-renowned wall coverings made in York - we proudly celebrate the Makers' spirit. Even the documents that served as our Nation's first constitution were created here!

From Farm to Factory to Maker Studio

York County is a haven for local makers and producers, boasting a gamut of tours and creative experiences. In Red Lion, tour Frank's Marble & Granite or Candi J. Duda Stained Glass & Garden Art Studio, then head to Perrydell Farm Dairy in York Township to see how they craft their delectable ice cream. It's all made here right in York County.

York-Made Brands That Span the Country

A diverse range of national brands call York County home, contributing to the region's economic vitality and cultural landscape. Martin's Snacks is based in York County and their delicious products are available all along the East coast. For a behind-the-scenes look at their production, check out their online video tour. Chutneys and condiments by Locally Seasoned can also be found in gourmet grocers and shops across the U.S. and in Canada. The Pretzel Company, frequently featured on QVC, is based in York County and shops their hand-twisted, small-batch pretzels to 48 states. You can taste the difference that love and human power make in every bite of their signature soft pretzels.
