Susquehanna National Heritage Area

Mission – The Susquehanna National Heritage Area connects the people and communities of Lancaster and York Counties to one another and to the nation through stories about this nationally important place. The National Heritage Area welcomes visitors, cultivates partnerships, and nurtures a strong regional identity.

Vision – The Susquehanna National Heritage Area is regarded across the nation as a place with a unique identity where people and communities cultivate their connections with each other, the landscape, and their history.

SNHA welcomes visitors, cultivates partnerships, and nurtures a strong regional identity. We’re helping to build a vibrant heritage and outdoor economy for our region through high-quality visitor sites and experiences. SNHA’s annual operations budget is $2.2 million and expected to exceed $3 million in 3-5 years with new programs and projects, including the $30+ million Susquehanna Discovery Center & Heritage Park on 80 acres of historic landscape near the Susquehanna River.
