The Demuth Tobacco Shop
The Oldest Operating Tobacco Shop In America

Opened in 1770 by Christopher Demuth, the tobacco shop was passed down through family hands for over 200 years. In the 1920's noted Lancaster architect Emlen Urban designed the interior and exterior as the shop appears today. Now, the historic properties and business archives are maintained by the Demuth Foundation.  The Demuth Tobacco Company continues to operate Demuth Tobacco Shop as a retail business selling quality tobacco products and supplies. Visit the shop at 114 East King Street or call  717-397-6613 for more information.
