Join us on Friday, May 1, 2026 for the First-Look Fête in Commons on Vine, adjacent to the Stevens & Smith Center, in the Lancaster County Convention Center.

After more than 15 years of dreaming, planning, and steadfast community support, LancasterHistory is proud to celebrate the Grand Opening of the Thaddeus Stevens & Lydia Hamilton Smith Center for History and Democracy. This once-in-a-generation milestone for our organization—and for our community—would not be complete without you.

RSVP by April 20, 2026.

We anticipate intense ticket demand. Swift and early registration is strongly encouraged. Sell-out likely.
