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.

We know a lot now because of the 5 th gr class about the President James Buchanan. The class on April 27 2019. Injoy is. GOOD Job. We are from MISSISSIPPI.

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.

Outstanding outdoor exhibit of World War Two reenactors complete with a USO show, many vehicles and armaments. All participants in period costume

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.
