Our mission is to connect all people to the rich history of Fairfield County. We are a nonprofit organization that operates two exemplary museums in downtown Lancaster, the Sherman House Museum and the Georgian Museum; champions preservation and revitalization; and provides educational programming. The museums are now closed for the season. They will re-open in April, 2023! Policy regarding posts:


- Personal attacks are disruptive to healthy dialogue.
- Stereotypes can be divisive and offensive and such comments will be monitored closely.
- We ask that the community refrain from responding if comment threads are taken over by trolls; people who post comments specifically to start a fight, defame, divide, distract or otherwise detract from the overall purpose of the community.
- Avoid minimizing or denying the importance of comments/posts from others.
- Do not use this social media community for self-promotion.
- Please do not use the comments section to air complaints about a post, a particular comment, or the moderation of our page.
- Any violations of the above policy can result in comment removal, reporting to Facebook, and/or bans from the page.

Stop by Double Edge Brewing Co. this weekend and try out a special batch of their Heritage Oktoberfest L***r. It includes hops grown in the Sherman House Garden!

Gardeners planted the hops three years ago and they were ready to harvest for the first time this year. Head Brewer Dominic Kirchgessner began the process in July and allowed Sherman House Museum Director Michael Johnson to add the Sherman House hops to the mixture.

Check it out this weekend!

An undated picture of the Amanda Canning Factory by Tobias Studios. The factory opened in 1901 and canned local produce, including: corn, peas, tomatoes and pumpkins. The plant folded in the 1920s as residents were not interested in retaining a factory in the village and farmers were unwilling to produce crops for the cannery.

As we celebrate America 250 in 2026, we will be sharing photos from our archive. Follow along for more!
