Summary:

The Pennsylvania Trail of History Guides is a continuing series of handbooks on the historic sites and museums administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. Each handbook focuses on a particular site, offering a concise history of the subject and a detailed tour of the grounds, complete with full-color photographs.

Landis Valley Museum, a complex of more than twenty-five buildings in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, founded in the 1920s by brothers Henry K. and George D. Landis, preserves Pennsylvania Dutch rural life from the mid-eighteenth century to the early-twentieth century. The guidebook surveys the Pennsylvania Dutch culture, profiles the brothers who amassed more than 75,000 objects relating to Dutch heritage, and concludes with a tour of the buildings and the grounds.
