About York County History Center
The York County History Center hosts weddings at its History Center Museum in downtown York. The museum offers a first-floor reception space, a third-floor multipurpose room with city views, or rental of the entire museum with exhibit galleries. Wedding events are also offered at the separate Agricultural & Industrial Museum, a renovated factory complex with a courtyard for ceremonies or cocktail hours and exhibit access. Rentals include selected venue areas, limited tables and chairs, and History Center staff. The Center does not provide catering; food must be prepared and served by a licensed caterer with liability insurance.
