As the mission of the Museum has a specific focus on Lancaster county, this section relates to the medical histories pertaining to Lancaster and neighboring regions. This section is similar to the Medicine in Pennsylvania article section but differs in that this area is focused specifically in Lancaster County. Here you’ll learn the history of medical men in Lancaster, as well as some histories from neighboring towns like Quarryville
