On January 12
th Joan Mummert, President and CEO of the York History Center shared the future vision for the York County History Center. The vision is a new campus that serves as a major cultural anchor and community space in downtown York. The
“Placing History at the Center” Capital Campaign has launched its fundraising campaign to raise more than $6M from the community. This will ensure that a vibrant tomorrow exists for our county’s history. They are working through deliberate and purposeful change to address new audience expectations, advances in technology, evolving educational needs, and variability in economic conditions. The effort centers upon developing a museum, library & archive in the former Met-Ed steam plant building to open in 2022. The York County History Center is York County’s storyteller – connecting the community and tourists alike with the astounding stories of our shared history. Through compelling programs, exhibits and publications, they strive to inspire exploration of history, people and culture of our county, state and nation.
