President James Buchanan's Wheatland, Lancaster

A must visit to step back in time and view Wheatland, home of our nation's 15th President. Built in 1828 by William Jenkins, Buchanan was our only President to remain a bachelor his entire life, his orphaned niece, Harriet Lane, whom he would adopt, would serve him wells as his official White House hostess. Remember to absorb what all he was politically involved in leading up to the American Civil War as he handed the reins over to Abraham Lincoln in such a volatile time. Simply incredible and to tour his Mansion for us was a great experience. Purchase your admittance ticket at the main building where a great exposition of items is waiting. Our hostess was dressed in a magnificent period dress, was very informative which helped to bring our tour alive when we visited in August. Restrooms on premise. Easy walking tour with stairs to climb to the second floor. Time permitting, you can visit President Buchanan's Grave site at the Woodward Hill Cemetery, Lancaster, PA.

We really enjoyed this tour. There are many original artifacts in this beautiful home. Jerry was our guide. He was enthusiastic and helpful... very knowledgeable! We would highly recommend this as a field trip or day trip!
