This year, the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County is honoring and celebrating its 60th anniversary.
Since its founding in 1966 to “stem the rapid destruction of historic properties in Lancaster County” the Trust has stayed true to this objective while expanding its reach and staying relevant. In an ever-changing world, isn’t it good to know we are still here protecting, collaborating, educating, and communicating the very real values of historic preservation?
Our Board of Directors and staff are poised to continue the good work begun by our Founders and are currently planning one heck of a celebration.
This is a ticketed event with a fun and casual vibe – no formal presentations or speeches. Just friends, food, music, memories, and a chance to feel good about what we have accomplished as an organization. This is also a fundraiser. All proceeds support the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County and our ability to offer preservation programs and services to the community at large.
About the Carriage House
This local landmark was designed for Peter Watt, co-founder of the Watt & Shand department store by another local legend – C. Emlen Urban.
More than a mere afterthought, it was designed to match the Chateauesque architectural style of the Roslyn Mansion and was completed in 1896.
In 2024, it was placed on HPT’s endangered list. It is now in the safe and professional hands of Gregg & Terri Scott. They’re graciously allowing us to join them at the beginning of their restoration journey.
