General Sherman's Home


Lancaster's most famous son is General Sherman.  He was born in this home which is located on Main Street in the historical district of town.

If I remember correctly, he was born here, but was reared up the street a few houses by the Ewings. When I lived here, I had his story down pat and would always take friends & relatives through the museum.  I found it fascinating to see his early photos, uniforms, etc.

The three-story mural on the side of a downtown building shows him in his famous stance with his hand in his vest.  He never smiled for the camera!
