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 Susquehanna Gateway Heritage Area to interpret and promote heritage resources in the two-county region.
