Inside the house, learn how generations of families celebrated the holidays in Pennsylvania and make a simple holiday craft. Experience demonstrations in the open hearth fireplace,  including roasting chestnuts. Partake in an English Country dance lesson in one of the art galleries.

About SNHA

Susquehanna National Heritage Area (SNHA) uses storytelling, place-based interpretation, and strategic partnerships to deepen people’s connection to the region. Rooted in deep expertise and a profound connection to the land and river, we help residents and visitors navigate the rich, layered, nationally important stories that shape Central Pennsylvania. We steward the legacy of this region so that what we’ve learned can impact generations to come.

In addition to our regional work, SNHA operates three visitor sites in the region. The Zimmerman Center for Heritage is a colonial riverfront museum in York County that highlights river influence on our culture over centuries, from Native American lifeways to modern inspiration for artists. The Columbia Crossing River Trails Center is an outdoor recreation hub on the riverfront in Lancaster County. The Center also offers youth programs that connect children to the natural and cultural history of the river. Finally, SNHA has preserved the Mifflin Farm in Wrightsville, York County, which is recognized as a National Park Service Network to Freedom site. The rich history related to the Underground Railroad and Civil War is shared through guided tours available on a limited basis.
