Rock Ford Plantation is the erstwhile home of Edward Hand who served as Adjutant General to George Washington. The house is situated on a 33-acre property on the south-eastern edge of Lancaster town. The house was opened as a public museum in 1960. It has been decorated with artefacts from the 1800s. Guided tours elaborate on the country lifestyle when General Hand was living in this mansion. There is also a barn in the property that was constructed after the museum was opened to the public. It was on this location that General Hand has his own barn. Other buildings in the property include the tenant house, the spring house, an additional barn, and several outbuildings. Visitors often are taken back in time when visiting this house.
