Thank You for Helping Bring Scipio Smith’s
Legacy to Life

Thanks to your generosity and community spirit, the statue of Scipio Smith now stands proudly in Downtown Lancaster—honoring a man whose life embodied freedom, faith, and resilience. Your support made this vision a reality.

Scipio Smith-Statue Dedication

A mansion of 13 rooms built in 1832 for Samuel and Sarah Maccracken is furnished today as it might have been in the 1830's with some original pieces and numerous Fairfield County items.

Built in 1811 this home was the birthplace of Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman and his brother U.S. Senator John Sherman. A National Historic Landmark.
