  • Excellent source of research materials, including published family histories and index cards. Mennonite and some Amish materials available. Membership (fee) allows for off site online research. Copier (.25/page) and computers available. Very helpful and friendly staff. Gift shop and museum, as well. Conveniently located next to Tanger Outlets.
  • Great place to learn about the Mennonites and Amish! Complete with a modest museum, a bookstore featuring quality new and used books, and a comprehensive historical library featuring all things Mennonite, Amish, and Brethren. One highlight for regular visitors is the annual Book Worm Frolic, featuring over 40,000 books magazine's and multimedia every year, another highlight is the benefit auction every quarter featuring some of the areas finest used book and collectables
  • A small but informative museum with interesting exhibits and artifacts on local Mennonite history and culture. The bookstore has some interesting titles, including used historical books that you can buy for as low as $5. There is a small admission fee ($5 when we visited). Definitely add this to your itinerary when you visit Lancaster.
  • A great place to find info on Mennonite ancestry and history on what has brought us to the place we are today
  • Great place to get the history of our area. The Mennonites have made a great contribution to our community, our county, and our Country. This is a great place to get the true unbiased history. They also have a great book sale every year which should not be missed.
