I grew up and have lived in Lancaster County Pennsylvania all my life. Lancaster County is a beautiful place and I enjoy photographing that beauty as the seasons pass. The county is also is rich in history. I enjoy tracking down interesting stories from the past and writing about them. This site is a collection of photographs and articles that I post from time to time with stories about Lancaster County history that I find intriguing.
I also invite you to visit my photography site. It is a collection of images that are intended to be a relaxing and refreshing respite from the hectic pace of day to day life. You will find it here: dlkautzphoto.com
