York, Pa.’s Police Heritage Museum’s collections go beyond the many artifacts from its law enforcement past on public display. Here, John Stine, the go-to person with questions about that long police history, shows a photo of an officer in a museum storage room, one of about 2,000 such pictures not on display. The Heritage Museum’s collections, both exhibited and in storage, will have to be moved this year.That move would include a popular exhibit – a reconstructed gallows from the old York County Prison on Chestnut Street. Royal Square has purchased the museum’s longtime West Market Street home. ‘The city has made us feel welcome here and we understand the importance of redevelopment,’ Stine told the York Daily Record/Sunday News. Also of interest: Check out this photo of a reconstructed 1800s jail cell at the Police Museum.
