The Hans Herr House, built in 1719, is located in Lancaster County, near downtown Lancaster. In the same area is the Lancaster Longhouse, created to teach people about Native Americans. It was the settler Hans Herr’s house. He came to Lancaster as a Mennonite bishop. He was born on September 17, 1639, and he was born in Zurich, Switzerland. He had joined the Swiss Brethren, which was later called the Mennonites! Hans Herr was a descendant of the Knight, Hugo Herr. Cool, right? Anyway, Hans Herr came here with his wife, Elizabeth, and the house may have been lived in by Hans Herr, but it was definitely lived in by his son, Christian Herr, and his wife, Anna. Christian Herr was also a Mennonite Bishop.
