Art Gallery

The Discover Lancaster Visitors Center Art Gallery showcases a rotating collection of artwork that reflects the region’s rich creativity and heritage. Visitors can admire everything from vibrant handblown glass pieces to intricately crafted quilts, highlighting both traditional and contemporary artistry. The gallery celebrates local and regional talent, offering a diverse range of mediums and styles for guests to enjoy. Nearly all of the artwork on display is available for purchase, making it easy for visitors to take home a one-of-a-kind piece of Lancaster County.

In addition, see the incredible craftsmanship of an authentic, operating Grandfather Clock. This cherry and mahogany tall case clock was made around 1810 by one of Lancaster’s most prominent clockmakers, John Eberman Jr. In addition to building traditional domestic clocks, Eberman also made massive public clocks. His most impressive one kept time for a century in the façade of the Lancaster County Court house and now almost 250 years old is still ticking away in the lobby of the National Watch & Clock Museum.
