Wheatland, Federal style mansion in Lancaster, United States
The three-part brick residence features symmetrical wings, two main floors, an attic, and a basement with the original kitchen and wine cellar.
President James Buchanan purchased Wheatland in 1848 and lived there until his death in 1868, except during his presidency and British ambassadorship.
The residence contains authentic furnishings from the mid-1800s, providing a detailed representation of domestic life during the American Civil War period.
Guided tours of the property run from January through November, with interpreters in period clothing leading visitors through the mansion for one hour.
The property retains two original outbuildings from 1828: a multi-level privy and a structure that combines both a smokehouse and an icehouse.
