Named for its abundance of limestone quarries, it was the work that brought people to Quarryville in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the continued employment opportunities, rural vibe, and easy access to retail and activities in nearby Lancaster have kept them here.
With low population density, everyone in Quarryville has plenty of space and peace of mind that they live in a safe community, where the low unemployment rate is still declining, leading to an enviably low crime rate. Manufacturing plants and construction companies join the quarry industry in providing respectable positions to the hard working people in this salt-of-the-earth borough.
When you’re not working, join in the fun at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park, winner of 2015’s Camp-Resort of the Year. Operating for over a quarter century, the park’s 63 forested acres offer cabins and campsites for both tents and RV’s, and day passes are available to enjoy the themed weekends and planned events. Play a round of golf, instead, at Tanglewood Manor Golf Club, or let your adrenaline rush at Buck Motorsports Park.
For your retail needs, you can stay around Quarryville, or head into nearby Lancaster for additional options. Visit Towns Edge Shopping Center or Revolving Door Consignment Shop within the borough, or take advantage of Vintage Vibe Antiques. Lancaster offers Rockvale Outlets, complete with 90 individual stores stocked with discounted merchandise.
After a hard day’s work, visit Quarryville Family Restaurant, where they take care of the home cooking for you! You can also grab some local barbeque at RD’s American Grill, or bring the kids to C R Lapp’s Family Restaurant for the fresh salad bar, so everyone gets their favorite meal. If it’s a Friday night in the fall, join the community after dinner to support the Golden Mules from Solanco High School as they take the gridiron.
Quarryville’s youth are served by the local Solanco School District, and though the state affords residents the opportunity to choose which district they attend, this system is highly rated and very convenient. The high school regularly outperforms state averages and offers Advanced Placement courses to allow students to earn college credits before high school graduation.
