The York County History Center serves as a major cultural anchor and community space in downtown York. A former electricity-generating plant transformed York County 150 years ago. The history center will be opening a new museum this summer.

Ron Hershner a longtime volunteer, and former board member of the York County History Center, and Joan Mummert the President and CEO of the center spoke with The Spark’s Asia Tabb about what the public can expect upon reopening.

“It’s a unique way of looking at history. It’s a state-of-the-art museum. There’s a lot of digital technology, deployed throughout the museum. We have more than a thousand photographs. We have films, video, historic films, and new films that we’ve created. So, it makes it a very dynamic place to visit. It’s unique among its peer institutions, history, institutions in the region. So, we think it’ll be different and that people will be attracted to come to York, “said Mummert.
