Notes
Includes detailed inventory of sites and structures.
This report presents the case for the preservation of the architectural and environmental aspects of this heritage in a balanced, planned relationship with continued contemporary development. Information is offered concerning the County's resources, the dangers to historic areas, and the possibilities for action. While individual County landmarks do deserve additional attention, the primary emphasis within this report is on the overall character of Lancaster's environmental heritage and the need for its preservation. The natural beauty of our rural areas and the pervasive historic character of many of our older communities are among Lancaster County's basic assets.
This study was updated in 1985 by the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County. The update's title is "Our present past: An update of Lancaster's Heritage" and can be found in our collection. The author of the update is "Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County".

Summary
"It is not easy to visualize in our time, that until 1744 only one house and one family occupied the tract of land that now constitutes about 70% of the land area of Lancaster's Seventh Ward, plus 30 acres in Lancaster Township. As the years passed, Hans Moser became known around the community as John Musser - sometimes Mosser...The small sandstone quarry started by John Musser, was turned into a commercial enterprise in later years by his grandson...One hundred years later it was still in operation and known as "Betz' Sand Quarry"...Today the grounds along the north side of the George Washington Elementary School, and a housing development across the street...mark the site of the extensive old quarry."
