About Kirkwood

Kirkwood is a small, rural farming community tucked into southern Lancaster County's Colerain Township. Set squarely in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, the area centers along Pennsylvania Route 472, which gives locals a quick connection to nearby towns like Quarryville and Oxford. It has the quiet atmosphere of an old crossroads hamlet, surrounded by historic farmhouses, a longtime local post office, and miles of rolling fields.

Daily life revolves around agriculture, with traditional Amish homesteads and working family farms defining the landscape. Winding country lanes branch off the main road and meander through scenic Octoraro Creek country, where you are just as likely to pass a horse and buggy as a tractor. Kirkwood offers plenty of open space, scenic views, and a calm, simple lifestyle within easy reach of regional conveniences.
