The committee is charged with providing advice in developing policies and procedures and assisting with implementation of strategies that preserve West Lampeter Township's culture and place in the history of Lancaster County and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The goal is to sustain and enhance cultural and historic resources for the benefit of West Lampeter Township residents.
