For more than forty years Quest for Learning has offered people of retirement age in the Lancaster community an opportunity to attend a continuing series of educational and enlightening seminars. Presented in six-week sessions twice a year, the seminars cover a wide range of topics — history, literature, current affairs, art, music, science, mathematics, politics, law and many others — and are presented by leading local experts in their fields — educators, public officials, business and community leaders, writers, artists and musicians. Quest participants encounter a unique adventure in learning, experiencing mental stimulation and growth, the excitement of new knowledge, and the pleasure of gathering with old friends and making new ones.
