First Friday is a celebration of our downtown! Each month the York County History Center offers activities to highlight history and fun. In the past we have had York Trivia, Game Night, and themed walking tours. We will continue free half-hour walking tours throughout the year. Each tour takes you around the downtown beginning at the corners of West Clarke and North Beaver St at our sandwich board. Tours will depend on the weather so keep an eye on our social media pages in case tours are cancelled.

Revolutionary York Exhibit

One frontier town. Nine months that changed the nation.

When British forces seized Philadelphia in 1777, America’s leaders fled to York — and a frontier town of 1,800 became the seat of a revolution. This is that story.
