A hidden gem in Lancaster County. Forget the buggies and shoofly pie, this place is not only beautiful, it's packed with historic implications and inspiring facts. Hosts, Nora and Michael, know their stuff and are happy to share their knowledge. Friendly and informative. This is the real thing. Authentic. Simply delightful.…

This is a beautiful little museum. I was blown away by the care Nora and her family have taken to restore and maintain the building and how extremely knowledgable they are. The bank artifacts and history are fascinating. Thank you so much!

What a great small museum!!! Our tour guide Nora gave us all sorts of information and insight into not only the First National Bank during its heyday and the banking industry in the region, but also the history of the building itself, which is a private residence as well as home to the museum. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is doing some sightseeing in the Columbia/Lancaster/York area and is interested in this sort of thing. Tours are by appointment only, so be sure to call ahead.…

The owner/tour guide Nora grew up in the building so she has much insight to the history. Beautiful wood detail inside. You will only be viewing the lowest level which is the bank.

The length of the tour depends on your questions and interest. There are no set tour times as this is also a residence. Just call ahead.…
