About the District
Agricultural and Natural Resources Center
Located on the property of the historic County Alms House, the Agricultural and Natural Resources Center (Ag Center) opened its doors in June 2000 with the help of a local capital campaign. The goal - to house all local agricultural and natural resource agencies in one location. This one-stop shop has been valued by the community ever since.
The handicap-accessible 32,000 sq. ft. building mimics a barn and includes an elevator resembling a silo. The Center’s agricultural-themed architecture serves as a reminder of the agricultural roots of Adams County. The Ag Center is home to multiple County and Federal Agencies including the: Planning Office and Conservation District, Land Conservancy Of Adams County, Penn State Extension, USDA - NRCS and Farm Service Agency (FSA) . The building also provides indoor and outdoor space for a variety of community meetings and events.
