About the Preservation Project:

Closer to Equality — Capital Campaign

Our plan is to create a $20 million educational and interpretive complex, using the restored 19th century properties of Thaddeus Stevens and Lydia Hamilton Smith located in Historic Downtown Lancaster, PA – featuring an original cistern believed by historians and archaeologists to have been used by Stevens and Smith as a hiding place for escaping slaves along the Underground Railroad. This will honor the legacy of these extraordinary Americans and inspire people today to carry on the work these patriots began. Please join us by giving a gift.
