About This Journal
The Adams County Historical Society's mission is to identify, preserve, and tell the stories of the people, organizations, businesses, and events that have shaped Adams County, Pennsylvania. As a result, the Historical Society is sometimes affectionately referred to as the county’s attic - a repository of rich, local, cultural heritage.
Adams County History began in 1995 and is published in November each year. The journal features research projects conducted at the Historical Society as well as work from local historians about Adams County. It has included research on the Battle of Gettysburg, early settlers, Manor of Maske land, World Wars, and everything in between.
