An Invitation to Membership

The Amos Herr House Foundation and Historical, Society

The Amos Herr House Foundation and Historical Society is a non‑profit organization

whose purpose it is to oversee the renovations, maintenance and usage of the historic house, barns and adjoining gardens. To preserve the history and traditions of the greater Hempfield area.  

We invite you to join us as we strive to preserve our area's heritage for present and future generations.

"If history comes to us only through academic discourse, the light that shines on the past may indeed flicker. . . To appreciate history, we must evoke our imaginations and this is best achieved through direct contact with the things that remain from the past days." Quote from Senator John Heinz.

Members support this cause and receive the following benefits:

•    Publications of The Amos Herr House Newsletter.
• Three historical lectures each year.
•   One free guided tour of the Amos Herr House and Gardens for you and your immediate family. (Does not include any special fund raising events.)
• Unlimited use of the Historical Library.
• Appreciation gift from Emma's Keeping Room (gift shop).
