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.

Service Animal Policy

Service animals are always welcome at the York County History Center.

Dogs are the only animals recognized as service animals by federal and state law. Service animals are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities and must be under control at all times by the owner. Service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls. The owner of a service animal may be asked to remove the animal from the premises if they do not take effective action to control the animal.

The York County History Center abides by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) definition of service animals. However, animals such as “comfort animals,” “therapy animals,” “companion animals” or “emotional support animals” are not service animals as defined by the ADA, because they are not trained to perform a specific task for an individual with a disability. Therefore, these animals are not permitted entry into our museums.
