Legend credits the Village of Bird-in-Hand’s quirky name to two men surveying the Colonial highway between the port of Philadelphia and Lancaster. At dusk in 1734, they found themselves at an inn by a Conestoga wagon stop. “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” suggested one surveyor, so they agreedto stay there for the night. The inn became known as “The Bird-in-Hand,” and the village had a name.

First inhabited by Native Americans, Europeans began moving into English Quaker William Penn’s colony in the early 18th century. His “HolyExperiment” offered many persecuted groups a refuge to worship as theychose, and Swiss Mennonites were the � rst to permanently settle in Lancaster County in 1710. The � rst Quakers arrived in 1715, building a brick meetinghouse in Bird-in-Hand in 1790 and replacing it in 1888 after a � re.

By the end of the 18th century, many Amish families joined other German-speaking denominations (German Lutheran, Reformed and

Baptist) in the area. The “Pennsylvania Dutch” Amish emigrated from southern Germany and Switzerland. They were called “Dutch,” an anglicizing of “Deutsch,” the German word for “German.”

As early as the late 1700s, the Underground Railroad ran through Bird-in-Hand. Its � rst “conductor” was James Gibbons, a Quaker who founded the oldest operating commercial mill on the west side of Bird-in-Hand. His son and wife continued the family’s anti-slavery efforts on their nearby farm, shepherding about 1,000 slaves through their “station.”

In 1938, Bird-in-Hand came into the spotlight when National Geographic discovered a young mother—today known as Grandma Smucker—in her Pennsylvania Dutch kitchen. Bird-in-Hand hit Broadway in 1956 when the “Plain and Fancy” musical opened and started the early boom of tourism in Lancaster County. Today, with a population of only 300, on any given day the Village of Bird-in-Hand welcomes more visitors than inhabitants.
