Millersville's Ware Center
The Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County is excited to host our fourth annual Lancaster County Historic Preservation Summit for all members of local Lancaster County Municipalities and Historical Societies as well as members and friends of the Trust. The idea for the summit stemmed from the fact that our mission is to educate on the importance of historic preservation. We thought that a preservation summit would be a wonderful opportunity to bring together both local municipalities and historical societies, as well as members of the general public with interest in preservation, to educate them and figure out how we can all work together to save Lancaster County’s historic structures.
