President James Buchanan's House

Front of President Buchanan's house, "The Wheatlands." Used to be a working farm outside of Lancaster. Today it is in city limits. Very well preserved. Candle light tours during winter holiday season. In the carriage house there is the Japanese vase that he received when he established diplomatic relations with Japan (1859?) and of course his carriage (he would have his driver take him to church in Lancaster). He raised his neices and nephews in this house.
