When you take a stroll through Landis Valley Museum, you are
delightfully overwhelmed with the rich history of Pennsylvania German heritage
and agriculture. Deep in the heart of Lancaster
County, brothers, Henry and George Landis founded the museum in 1925 to ensure
that future generations would be able to see and remember how farmers used to
operate.
The 100 acre property is home to
16 historic buildings and thousands of artifacts that contribute to the 18th
and 19th century atmosphere. The
museum’s curator, Bruce Bomberger, maintains the artifacts and oversees the 70,000
visitors each year. Bruce says he enjoys
sharing the stories behind the artifacts with people to help bring their visit
to life.
You may have also seen Landis Valley Museum on television when they were was featured during the fourth season of America’s
Heartland. To read more about
Pennsylvania’s “best kept secret”, check out page 8 in our Farm Credit Leader magazine.
