December 21: Celebrity Bartending at Max’s Eatery
Join us on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, from 5 to 8 pm at Max’s Eatery for an evening of celebrity bartending to support the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County! One hundred percent of all bar tips (cash and credit) and $1 from each sale of the evening’s two signature drinks will go directly to the Trust to aid in our mission to encourage and facilitate preservation throughout Lancaster County.
If you would rather sit at a table to sip and sup, there will be a “donation line” line on your credit card receipt to donate as well.

Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County 
The Trust was established in 1966 to help “stem the rapid destruction of historic properties in Lancaster County.” Through the years, the Trust has been active in helping to preserve many historic properties in Lancaster County that contribute to their respective communities as unique places for people to live, work, and play. Our equation for success has been working for over 50 years. Look around you and know that our advocacy and direct action have resulted in saving hundreds of historic structures and other sites throughout the county. The flip side is that not everything can and should be saved. The Trust continually faces this delicate balance and works closely with all parties involved to reach an equitable decision for all. Sadly, it sometimes takes an irreplaceable loss to a community before preservation moves higher on the priority list.
