Mission:
The Adams County Historical Society was established to "foster interest in the history of Adams County and vicinity, conduct research, preserve records and objects, mark sites, and pursue such activities as may be related to the history of the community."

About Us:

The Adams County Historical Society has often been referred to affectionately as the "county's attic"—an archive and museum preserving the rich cultural heritage of Adams County, Pennsylvania.

The Society offers twenty-one hours of public operation utilizing paid and volunteer staff to serve researchers at its headquarters at the Wolf House on the campus of the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg.
