Fodor's Expert Review Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery

Lititz Family

In 1861, pretzel man Julius Sturgis opened the country's first pretzel bakery. These days, the original site, a stone house on the National Register of Historic Places, operates guided tours and a hands-on lesson in pretzel twisting. An on-site bakeshop has souvenirs and fresh pretzels.
