The Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum is a 100-acre living history museum in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It collects, conserves, exhibits, and interprets Pennsylvania German material, culture, history and heritage from 1740 through 1940. The museum was founded by the Landis brothers--Henry K. Landis and George Landis.

The museum celebrates the many inventions developed in the Lancaster area. Because this was the birthplace of the Conestoga wagon, visitors see how wagons were made, including the critical process of making spoked wheels. Because Lancaster County is where the Pennsylvania longrifle - also known as the Kentucky longrifle - originated, visitors see how gunsmiths of the 18th century manufactured rifle barrels.

The features of the museum include:
