El histórico Mercado Central
¡Te doy la bienvenida a Lancaster, Pensilvania! Y qué mejor lugar para empezar que justo aquí, en el corazón de la ciudad: el Central Market. Puedes explorarlo ahora o volver al final del recorrido, pero de cualquier forma vas a querer recorrerlo a pie. Si decides volver más tarde, solo gira tres veces a la izquierda y eso nos llevará al siguiente punto.

Esto no es solo un mercado, es un hito de la historia estadounidense. Central Market es el mercado agrícola de funcionamiento continuo más antiguo de los Estados Unidos; recibe compradores desde 1730, cuando el fundador de Lancaster, James Hamilton, reservó este espacio como punto de encuentro público. Para 1757, el rey Jorge II lo declaró oficialmente mercado público, consolidando su papel en la vida de la ciudad.

El impresionante edificio de estilo neorrománico que ves hoy, coronado por su torre del reloj, abrió en 1889 y fue diseñado por el arquitecto local Edwin F. Durang. Adentro, la historia de Lancaster se revela puesto por puesto. Los granjeros amish venden productos frescos cultivados a pocos kilómetros, familias de comerciantes locales ofrecen carnes y quesos, y los sabores internacionales reflejan generaciones de inmigrantes: desde platos alemanes y de Medio Oriente hasta especialidades latinoamericanas y asiáticas.

Mientras exploras, tómate un café, un pretzel suave o un famoso whoopie pie. No solo estás comiendo, estás viviendo casi tres siglos de la historia viva de Lancaster.

El Teatro Fulton
Prepárense para viajar en el tiempo mientras nos acercamos al Teatro Fulton, una absoluta maravilla arquitectónica y un verdadero pilar cultural de Lancaster. Este no es un teatro cualquiera; es un Monumento Histórico Nacional y uno de los teatros en funcionamiento más antiguos de todo Estados Unidos.

Inaugurado en 1852 como Fulton Hall, se nombró en honor a Robert Fulton, nativo del condado de Lancaster e inventor del barco de vapor. Diseñado por el renombrado arquitecto de Filadelfia Samuel Sloan, la grandeza victoriana del edificio, con su fachada ornamentada y su opulento interior, es un verdadero espectáculo. En sus casi dos siglos, el Fulton ha albergado de todo, desde vodevil y cine mudo hasta las aclamadas producciones actuales al nivel de Broadway. Leyendas como Mark Twain y Helen Hayes han pisado este escenario. Durante la Guerra Civil, incluso sirvió como hospital temporal para soldados heridos, un emotivo recordatorio de sus profundas raíces en la historia local.

Hoy, el Fulton continúa su legado produciendo musicales de clase mundial, obras de teatro y espectáculos familiares, todo mientras conserva su encanto histórico. Estando aquí, casi se pueden escuchar los ecos de los aplausos de generaciones pasadas. Es, de verdad, un pedazo vivo de la historia de las artes escénicas.

Por favor, giren a la derecha en West Vine Street y luego a la derecha en South Water Court.
