George's FurnitureFounded in 1970 by woodworker George Martin, George’s Furniture is a second-generation family-owned shop in Lancaster County that makes custom, solid-hardwood furniture by hand.

Now operated by George’s daughter Juanita and son-in-law Chris Horst, the business continues its old-fashioned, made-to-order approach from its farm workshop outside Maytown.MARIETTA, PA
