Small museum emphasizing important figures and events of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. There is also an area dedicated to the history of print and Lancaster newspapers. Finally a focus on Pennsylvania's only president, James Buchanan. Wheatland, the residence of President Buchanan is within a short walk. Guides are knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about Lancaster history.

Smithsonian quantity curation, knowledgeable staff, beautiful facility. Do not miss this museum if you are in Lancaster. Plus tours of President Buchanan's home, be sure to check out the pink China made with gold glazing techniques.

I loved it. The people there are very friendly and helpful. The property is very clean. There are a few hidden gems around the property if you explore closely.

A well curated local history museum. It is well worth the time for a visit when you are in Lancaster. In addition to the exhibits take time to browse the gift shop for tasteful gifts and souvenirs.

Excellent example of small museum with historical artifacts that have relevancy today. The concise collection is diverse culturally and in content. It is the the perfect compliment to a tour of Wheatland, home of the 15th President of the United States. The images were taken in the museum

OK, maybe James Buchanan wasn't the country's best president, but it's still fascinating to get a glimpse into his life in his well-preserved home and to explore the resources in the Lancaster history building.
