History

The Biglerville Historical and Preservation Society, a non-profit organization, has done research on pioneer families, land settlements and genealogy. In April 1990 the Society opened The National Apple Museum to honor the founders of the Apple Industry.

You will enjoy your visit to this one-of-a-kind museum. A gallery display is followed by a treat of delicious apple juice and cookies, an 18-minute video "Apples, Apples, Apples," a guided tour of the second level exhibits and a visit to the gift shop.

Apple Country, USA

"Although it is just a short drive from the Carlisle and Gettysburg Pike exits of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, a trip to Adams County is a trip back in time with quaint villages and festivals that recall America's agricultural past. In Adams County apples are everywhere. In fact more than five million bushels of America's favorite fruit are harvested in this one county alone. Everywhere you turn somebody is harvesting, selling -- or eating apples!

It should come as no surprise that the National Apple Museum can be found in Biglerville, Adams County. There are gallery displays, videos, guided tours and, of course, plenty of apples to eat at the National Apple Museum. There is an historic country store and quilt display. You can even find entertainment in the form of the Apple Core Band and the National Apple Museum Dance Band."
