The complex features a 1920’s period appropriate house with fixtures and furnishings that would be representative of a prosperous farm. The out buildings like the barn and granary give you an idea of what life was like on farms in the early 20th century.
Since it was established in 1999, the York Area Children’s Museum’s mission has been to provide a safe, imaginative and affordable play opportunity for the youngest residents of our community, and many countless visitors.
