Beginning June 1, visitors to LancasterHistory will experience a new orientation film, Buchanan’s America: A Nation Divided. Created in partnership with Lancaster-based Aurora Films, Buchanan’s America uses live-action footage, new research and scholarly interviews to dynamically portray the story of James Buchanan, the 15th President of the United States.
The 22-minute film will become a centerpiece of the visitor experience for everyone touring Wheatland, Buchanan’s home. The film allows visitors to develop a more comprehensive view of the politics, tensions and lifestyles of the time period, and a more intimate understanding of President Buchanan, First Lady Harriet Lane and others who lived in Wheatland from the 1840s-60s. Guided tours follow the viewing of the film.
