National Heritage Area
America’s 55th National Heritage Area
Susquehanna National Heritage Area
Officially Designated!
On March 12, 2019, the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (S.47) was signed into law in Washington, DC after approval by the U.S. Senate and U.S House of Representatives in February 2019. This national conservation legislation includes designation of Lancaster and York Counties as the Susquehanna National Heritage Area. The Act’s signing was great news for the 10+year effort to achieve this national honor for our region. We thank U.S. Senator Bob Casey for supporting this legislation since 2008 and securing an amendment to S.47 designating the Susquehanna National Heritage Area. Senator Casey’s commitment to this effort has brought important national recognition to our region as America’s 55th National Heritage Area. Learn about our National Heritage Area Management Plan.
