"Fantastic annual strawberry festival. Good food and some local history"
"Picture perfect! I love the Gandy farm in upper township!! They had an apple festival on Sat that was awesome! Train rides for the kiddos and part of a real train you could walk in and see! Then across the street was music, home made crafts and all the apple foods you can think of! Plus you get to view the old Gandy house on the property! Fun fun fun! They also have a strawberry festival in the beginning of the summer!"
"It wasn't open. Just a few buildings here. Looks like it is maintained well."
"A well restored, local historic home and grounds that is a pleasure to stop in and see if you are in the area. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visiting when they have their Strawberry Festivals and Apple festivals is also a good time as it often brings out lots of people. If you cant visit, there is a 360° virtual tour on Google Maps."
"Fascinating small colonial farmhouse, especially interesting because it depicts the lives of lower-class farmers and laborers instead of the usual upper-class landowners of the period who lived in mansions. Up in the attic are quilts, furnishings, and clothing from colonial days; downstairs are period furniture, laundry implements, a tiny "museum" behind glass, and other collectibles of interest. Dotting the property are outbuildings from the time, reminding visitors of how difficult rudimentary farm life could be in the 18th century. The annual strawberry and apple festivals are a lot of fun, with live music, demonstrations, food, and take-home goods to buy. There will be the usual apple pie contest at the upcoming 2018 apple festival, with house tours and Johnny Appleseed on hand to tell stories. Thanks to the Gandy volunteers for maintaining the farmstead and keeping the history going for current and future generations."
