Book Description
Landis Valley Museum, a complex of more than twenty-five buildings in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, founded in the 1920s by brothers Henry K. and George D. Landis, preserves Pennsylvania Dutch rural life from the mid-eighteenth century to the early-twentieth century. The guidebook surveys the Pennsylvania Dutch culture, profiles the brothers who amassed more than 75,000 objects relating to Dutch heritage, and concludes with a tour of the buildings and the grounds.
