Central Market in Penn Square
- Central Market in Penn Square
Central Market, built in 1889, is a farmer's market located in Penn Square, in downtown Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The market is the oldest, continuously-operated farmers market in the United States, and many tourists still come here to purchase the handmade Amish goods that are not common elsewhere.

Warner, from Philadelphia. It is listed with the National Register of Historic Places, and its towers are of the Romanesque Revival style. Most of the market's stands are held by food sellers, with merchants selling fresh fruits and produce, flowers, meats and cheeses, fish and seafood, baked goods, and other foods. A few merchants sell craft items. Anarchists of Lancaster distribute free books and leaflets, as well as play acoustic and folk music for the market crowd.
