The Stevens & Smith Center has been in the making for decades. LancasterHistory assumed responsibility for the project in 2010 with a commitment to creating a state-of-the-art museum to foster learning, dialogue, and reflection. Join Robin Sarratt, LancasterHistory’s President & CEO, Stephanie Townrow, Director of Exhibitions and Interpretation, and Dr. Tom Ryan, Director Emeritus, to learn about the process of making a museum from the ground up and the journey ahead. Plus, get up close and personal with historic artifacts slated to go into the Stevens & Smith Center!

This is one of a series of events scheduled throughout April and May to support the Stevens & Smith Center and its capital campaign. For a full list of upcoming events, please visit stevensandsmithcenter.org/events.
