Visit us on Sundays

Don’t forget: We are open Sundays now from noon to 4 p.m. And that’s just the Museum — not the Library and Archives. Admission on Sundays is $10 for adults and $8 for students, so spend a Sunday with the family in downtown York grabbing brunch (try Gather 256, The Roost, White Rose Bar and Grill or The Handsome Cab) and exploring York County’s stories at the History Center.
