About this activity
Visit: Wheatland, 1120 Marietta Ave, Lancaster, PA 17603-2550
Costumed guides conduct tours of the historic mansion of the 15th President of the United States, James Buchanan.
The substantial brick house at Wheatland consists of a Federal-style two and one-half story central section flanked by three-story wings. The main block of the building contains a central hall with two matching rooms on either side; there are 17 rooms in all. A Doric-columned porch dominates the front of the main section of the house. Few changes have occurred over the years except for some interior improvements made by Buchanan. These included installation of a furnace and central heating, replacement of the open hearth in the kitchen by a cast-iron stove, and the addition of such modern conveniences as a tin bathtub.

This tour exceeded our expectations and was very informative. I learned a lot about Buchanan and especially around the environment of our country at that time. The tour guide was also very good and informative.
