Images from the Photo Collection
of the Lancaster County Historical Society

Join Lancaster's citizens from the late 1800s through the mid-twentieth century for a day at the office-or the factory. More than 130 photographs illustrate the ways in which the men and women of Lancaster County have made a living: farming, selling, building, saving, fixing, typing, making, healing. The captivating images reveal the secrets behind the long-standing vitality of Lancaster County's economy.

An introduction by Gerald S. Lestz, the original "Scribbler" for the Lancaster New Era, and short essays by local experts recount engaging stories and place Lancaster’s history in a national context. This fascinating collection of images is certain to appeal to anyone who has ever lived and worked in Lancaster County.
