Other items besides Hex design decorated items are cook books and some food products  packaged for later use which are of the  traditional local Dutch culture. 

The Pennsylvania Dutch Gift Haus has been at our location in Shartlesville, Pennsylvania for over fifty years along with Roadside America.  Both Roadside America and the Pennsylvania Dutch Gift Haus were rebuilt by Laurence Gieringer at this location in 1953 and are still run by his family.

Our new Internet site for the Gift Haus will initially focus on presenting items related to the German speaking immigrants (the German, Swiss and some German dialect-speaking Alsatians and Lorrainers), and the unique culture that developed, locally known as the Pennsylvania Dutch. Central to much of this are the "Hex " designs, which are circular geometric patterns with linages back 6000 years to Neolithic Man, reappearing in 2000-1000BC civilizations and again Roman, Etruscan & other more recent ones.  The Pennsylvania "Dutch" started using these basic symbols to decorate their beloved barns shortly after the 1830s when farmers began to paint their barns.
