The York county Heritage Trust is an educational institution that uses its collections, museums, and historic sites to inspire people to explore the history and culture of York County, Pennsylvania. The Trust traces its roots to 1895 when interested citizens formed the Historical Society of York County to collect, preserve and interpret the history and culture of York County and its people. Since then, the organization has merged, partnered and evolved into the entity that is is today.
