The Advertising and Promotional Collection contains materials for a wide variety of businesses and organizations in Lancaster County, including manufacturers, department and clothing stores, entertainment venues, grocery stores, restaurants, service providers, and social clubs. Of special interest is the use of both English and German in a brochure from the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co., as well as in the soap-making directions from the Pennsylvania Salt Co. There are also a 1921 program from Lancaster's Colonial Theatre and boxing programs that list Lancaster native, Leo Houck.
A mechanical musical marvel, the orchestrian plays up to thirteen different instruments at one time, and is just part of the unique collection of operating automated musical instruments at Mill Bridge Village in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The Village also features camping facilities, a working mill, covered bridge and craftsmen plus special summer musical weekends.
