Americana personified.
Strasburg was voted one of the ten most historic and picturesque towns in America. It was developed along the Conestoga Road, the first road in the frontier of Lancaster County.
By 1800, it was second only to Lancaster in wealth and population. Strasburg had many taverns for travelers and immigrants with craftsmen such as blacksmiths, carriage makers, tanners, and shop keepers. Today, you can drive Main Street and admire the colonial log, brick, and stone houses that have been beautifully restored.
The Shroy House, located at 124 S. Decatur Street, was built around 1790 and was purchased by the Heritage Society in 1977 with plans to turn it into a history museum.
The Glass House. Built in 1878 and purchased by the Strasburg Heritage Society in 2004, the Glass House currently stores some of the Society's collection as the Shroy House is rehabilitated.
The Methodist Meeting House, built in 1804 and purchased by the Heritage Society in 2005, was the first church to be built in Strasburg.
