Historic Rock Ford, home to the circa 1794 General Edward Hand Mansion and the John J. Snyder, Jr. Gallery of Early Lancaster County Decorative Arts, is a remarkable estate nestled within 33 acres of gardens, woods, and grounds, bordered by Lancaster County Central Park in the southeast corner of Lancaster City.
This unique property offers visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the stunning late-Georgian architecture of the Hand Mansion, furnished with period-specific decor. In the Snyder Gallery, guests can explore a nationally recognized collection of Lancaster County decorative arts, ranging from circa 1760 to 1820. The collection includes fine examples of furniture, portraiture, long rifles, tall case clocks, silver, and much more.
But Rock Ford isn’t just about architecture and artifacts. Visitors also have the opportunity to learn about the complex and diverse life of 18th-century Lancaster. Guided tours of the mansion provide insight into the life of Edward Hand, who served as Adjutant General to George Washington during the American Revolution.
