I can’t believe it took me 30 years to get here, but I am glad. This is an American treasure right in Lancaster’s backyard. The grounds are beautiful and the 90% authentic refurbishing of the mansion is impressive. The tour guide, Mike Henry, was excellent. He gave a great amount of detail and was very knowledgeable with all the questions with our small group. I hope more people will recognize the historic monument that is in our county and give it a visit. The kitchen was my favorite part. The cost is 8 and they accept credit cards. Make sure to arrive a few minutes before the hour you want to take the tour.

Very knowledgeable guide and a hidden gem in the heart of Lancaster. Highly recommended for anyone interested in early American history.

Rock Ford has a very interesting history and our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable. One thing I didn't like about the tour: it was very briefly mentioned that the original owner of the house had owned slaves and then nothing else was said about them. Historical tours should include information on ALL of the people who lived there, not just the white people who owned the property.

This is a wonderful place! We had a great tour guide that really seemed to know her stuff and took the time with each person that a question. Loved it!

A fantastic slice of history, nestled in a bend of the Conestoga River, and wonderfully preserved through the efforts of local foundation. They were very accommodating for our family group as we arranged for part of a family reunion to take place on the grounds of the plantation. Definitely recommend a tour of the house - but if you have toddlers you'll either want to keep the tour short, or find alternate activities for them. The house has been restored nicely - but does not offer air conditioning, so plan accordingly. Also, there are no public restrooms at the plantation house - only a single port-a-john - though the nearby pavilions may have some restroom facilities. A great place for a weekend shot of history, and to get in touch with your roots!
