Hans Herr House, Historic Mennonite house in West Lampeter Township, Pennsylvania, United States.
The Hans Herr House stands as a rectangular sandstone structure with a steep roof, small windows, and traditional Germanic architectural elements from 1719.
The building served as both a residence and a Mennonite meetinghouse, representing the first permanent European settlement in Lancaster County during the colonial period.
The museum complex presents colonial-era furniture, tools, and agricultural equipment that demonstrate the daily activities of early Pennsylvania German settlers.
Guided tours of the property allow visitors to explore the main house, outbuildings, blacksmith shop, and a reconstructed Native American longhouse throughout the year.
The structure features individual wooden steps pegged into diagonal beams, showcasing medieval German carpentry techniques preserved in colonial American architecture.
