President James Buchanan's Wheatland, Lancaster

We had a wonderful tour. House has AC so it was a comfortable tour. Very informative. Museum starts with a film and the star in the film was one of the guides in costume. Tour allows you to walk into rooms without barriers. Very enjoyable tour.

I was disappointed that they talked primarily of the Buchanan family and very little about the house. I suppose that was because the Buchanan family did not build the house but only bought it from the Jenkins family. The tour was not very long and was abbreviated because neither the third floor nor basement were included. I probably wouldn’t have done the tour if I knew it was all about the family and not the house.

Enjoyed learning about this president who isn't often referenced. Was part of a curious group who asked great questions. Also enjoyed hearing about Harriet Lane who endured the loss of her parents at a young age but was so important during President Buchanan's life in public service. Stephanie, our docent, was very knowledgeable, engaging and accommodating!

Such a wonderful experience! A lot of history in Lancaster, PA to discover. The grounds are so beautiful, and the tour is packed full of information.

What a cool house that takes you back in time to the colonial days. It wasn't open the day we were there but peeking in the windows, it looked so amazingly original. The grounds were beautiful and a pleasure to walk and learn. If in the area, take the time and visit this historical treasure.
