Today, we’d like to place the spotlight on Arlene – one of our amazing staff members at Fulton Steamboat Inn in Lancaster, PA.
Arlene works at the Emporium Gift Shoppe.
The Steamboat’s gift shop is here for your convenience, and you’ll find that its selection is quite amazing – from PA Dutch Country souvenirs to local specialties, to many Lancaster County handmade arts and crafts.
Arlene will help you select a souvenir for yourself or for someone else. If you’ve done all the touristy attractions and ran out of time or desire to go out and shop for gifts, our Emporium Gift Shoppe will not let you down – choose a last minute gift such as Kitchen-Kettle jams, chocolate-covered pretzels, quilts and much more without even having to leave your hotel.
