Extravagant and Industrial

The Agricultural & Industrial Museum is located in downtown York at 217 West Princess Street and is housed in a complex of renovated factory buildings, some of which date back to 1874. The outdoor courtyard and lobby area allow for cocktail hour and affords guests the opportunity to marvel at the many inventions and products to engineering that played a key role in the growth that helped build York’s reputation as one of the country’s leading agricultural and industrial centers.

 

Intimate and Elegant

The Historical Society Museum, constructed in 1921 as an automobile dealership is located in downtown York at 250 East Market Street. The classical ambiance includes the original showroom’s black-and-white tile floor and the spacious two-story entrance Founder’s Hall provides a grand and elegant location for any occasion. The Meeting Hall, which provides a private garden entrance, will serve your needs for the most intimate occasion. Your guests will have the opportunity to explore galleries that span the generations, featuring decorative to fine arts and early American and Civil War periods.  PLEASE NOTE: Due to our impending move, the Historical Society Museum building is only available to rent until 12/1/2023.   Please contact us for potential alternatives.
