COVID-19 Update (3/12/20)

The health and safety of our team, volunteers and visitors is paramount at the York County History Center. Our understanding of Covid-19 or Coronavirus is based upon information from the CDC, PA Department of Health and AAM which we have used to develop a plan for operations. In an address this afternoon, Mayor Helfrich encouraged public distancing. The History Center has a duty to aid our community in efforts to limit the potential spread of a serious illness. We are making decisions to postpone or cancel events based upon the information we have available to us.
