Hans Herr House was built in 1719 by my ancestor. I toured the house in 2015 but went back to see the grounds and the exterior of the house in 2020. We were unable to tour due to cancellations of tours because of CoVid 19. The house is a great example of Mennonite history in the region and is the oldest Mennonite Church in the Western Hemisphere still standing which was also the Herr family house on their homestead. My ancestors are buried in the nearby cemetery.
If you like history, you will love this place! They have both a stone farmhouse built in 1719 and a replica of a Conestoga Indian log house from the 1600's. Our guide was very thorough in his explanations and did a. excellent job. We loved it. The tour is 90 minutes.
Excellent learning experience for kids of all ages. Step back into colonial times and experience history first hand.
First homestead in Lancaster County dating back to 1719. According to the guide, one of the earliest Mennonite gathering sites (church) in Pennsylvania & North America. Be prepared for a trip back in time. Tours are available. Also has a replica Native American longhouse.
Well informed staff. Quiet atmosphere. Tours available $15. Great history of Christian events from Europe to the US.
