Landis Family

More about the book

Focusing on the Landis family's dual identity as both typical Pennsylvania Germans and cultural pioneers, this book delves into their farming lifestyle and broader contributions, including founding the Landis Valley Museum. Settling in Lancaster County in the 18th century, Henry Harrison and Emma Caroline Landis raised their children in a rich cross-cultural environment. The narrative is enhanced by historic photographs, many previously unpublished, that capture the family's customs, agricultural practices, and the significant role of Pennsylvania Germans in American culture.
