Why this auction matters

This year, the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County proudly celebrates its 60th anniversary.

Since our founding in 1966, the Trust has remained steadfast in its mission to encourage and facilitate historic preservation throughout Lancaster County, while expanding our reach and staying relevant in a changing world. Six decades later, we are still here: protecting, collaborating, educating, and championing the enduring value of historic preservation.

The historic buildings around us are what make Lancaster County feel like Lancaster County, and once they're gone, they can't be replaced. This auction is a fundraiser for the Trust and every bid helps us carry that work into the next sixty years.
