Support Us Our Nonprofit in Lancaster PA

Before it was a museum, Landis Valley was a community and, at its heart, it still is. We provide learning opportunities for people of all ages through animal encounters, school workshops, craft demonstrations and classes, training in historic trades, volunteer opportunities for organizations and individuals, and more. Plus, we house the largest collection of Pennsylvania German artifacts in the United States and pull from that collection to create award-winning exhibits.

We need your help to make this happen.

Whether it’s by giving your time or dollars or an artifact, your gift is always appreciated and will be used to perpetuate the museum’s mission to collect, preserve, and interpret rural Pennsylvania German material culture and heritage from 1740-1940.
