The 1852 Herr Family Homestead authentically depicts life on a 19th century Lancaster County farm. Stroll the quiet tree lined lane, wander up the garden path and enter the world of the Herr Family Homestead.

The Herr Family Homestead is a fine example of a Lancaster County farm property. Visit the buildings and grounds to explore the history and traditions of Pennsylvania Germans in the southeastern area of Pennsylvania.

The original 92 acre property was owned by members of the Herr family since 1844. Although the date stone on the house reads 1852, there is evidence that the north side of the house was erected earlier.

The first family member to reside there was Henry Herr, who was a descendant of Hans Herr, one of Lancaster’s earliest settlers. See the Herr Family genealogy.

Henry Herr and his wife Elizabeth raised 6 children at the homestead and eventually their son, Amos B. Herr took over farming the property and raising tobacco. Amos and his wife, Emma made major renovations to the house in 1913. They had one child, Amos Rohrer Herr who began managing the property in 1926 upon the death of his father.

When Amos R. Herr’s beloved wife Ethel passed away in 1974, he gave a portion of the then 55 acre tract to East Hempfield Township. Amos R. Herr lived at the farm until his death in 1987 when the remaining acreage was formally turned over to East Hempfield Township with the stipulation that the land be used for public good.
