What Is Lancaster County Heritage?

It’s a countywide network of Heritage Resources-- natural, cultural, and historic resources -- that are officially designated by the Lancaster County Planning Commission (LCPC).

         Initiated in 1994 with assistance from the National Trust for Historic Preservation,

         the program is now administered by LCPC staff with the involvement of local 

         residents who serve on the program’s Advisory Council.

Across the Susquehanna River, Lancaster          County Heritage has a parallel program called         York County Heritage.  Both programs work         cooperatively with the Lancaster-York Heritage         Region (LYHR) to interpret and promote heritage         resources in the two-county region.
