History Center building to close Friday morning

The History Center Museum building will be closed Friday morning, Aug. 29, as T-Mobile conducts emergency repairs to its equipment on the smokestack. The work will require closing Pershing Avenue in front of our building starting at 7 a.m. Colonial Complex tours are available at 1 and 3 p.m. only, and the Agricultural and Industrial Museum will open normally at 10 a.m. The History Center Museum will re-open no later than noon. Thank you for your patience.

COVID-19 Update March 26

March 26, 2020

The York County History Center will remain closed through the end of April. Programming and events scheduled for April will either be postponed or cancelled. At the end of April, our team will re-evaluate the situation based on information from the CDC, PA Department of Health, and Governor Wolf’s office and decide our next step moving forward. We will continue to update you should anything change before then.

During this time, we want you to be able to continue to enjoy learning about York history because Your History Still Starts Here. We have created a new resource page, York History at Home on our website. This page will allow you to take virtual tours, download coloring pages, read articles, and much more. This page will continue to grow as our team continues to work hard to bring this information to our community.

We appreciate your understanding and support during this challenging time and we look forward to being able to see you all again in person! Until then please enjoy our online resources while you stay home and stay safe.

We acknowledge that additional changes may be on the horizon based upon the fluidity of the pandemic. Please continue to check our website (www.yorkhistorycenter.org), Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for future updates.
