"Fun with the Family"


In spite of the pivotal role that Pennsylvania played in our history, the Keystone State produced only one U.S. president, James Buchanan. Located on the outskirts of downtown Lancaster, James Buchanan’s Wheatland, Buchanan’s home, is an excellent example of a Victorian home. Hands-on tours and educational programs are offered for school groups and Scout troops.
