Rock Ford Plantation, Georgian mansion in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The two-and-a-half story residence exhibits symmetrical design with four corner rooms and a central hall plan spanning across thirty-three acres.

General Edward Hand, who served as Adjutant General to George Washington during the American Revolution, constructed this residence in 1794.

The John J. Snyder Jr. Gallery displays Lancaster County decorative arts from 1760 to 1820, including furniture, rifles, and silver pieces.

The mansion opens for guided tours presenting period furnishings, with special Yuletide tours scheduled for December 27-29, 2024.

The property remained a tenant farm for 150 years after 1810, resulting in minimal alterations to its original Georgian architecture.
