“A Ride to the Hans Herr House” by P. Buckley Moss is a limited-edition fine art print that beautifully captures the charm and historical significance of a visit to one of the oldest surviving homes in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The artwork portrays a tranquil scene where an Amish horse and buggy make their way towards the Hans Herr House, a stone structure rich in history and heritage. The Hans Herr House was built in 1719 by Christian Herr and is one of the oldest standing Mennonite meeting houses. Located in Willow Street in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, this house is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Mennonite community and its deep roots in the region.
