Erwin-Stover House PA 18920

"Call first, they didn’t feel like opening today. Ah, to work for the govt."

"I highly recommend stopping and taking the tour. If you are lucky enough to catch Amy there she is extremely knowledgable of the property history and families. Seeing the differences of the main house, built by William Erwin in 1810, compared to the additions by Henry Stover in 1860 and Jacob Stover in 1880 is very interesting. You will also see some artifacts and learn a bit about the Lenape Indians."

"We had a fantastic time at the May Day Event! Well organized, educational, and a perfect day outside. Will be back to more of this years events!"

The House will be open for tours from 12-4 pm and we will be celebrating spring with special guests, the Millstone River Morris Dancers! They will be performing traditional English folk dance with sticks, handkerchiefs and bells to live music followed by a dance beneath the maypole. Do you want to try the dances yourself? All visitors who would like to join in the dancing are welcome to participate. You may be asking whether these traditions were brought to America? We will share the story of how the English Maypole became the American Liberty Pole in 1777, and the origins of the American holiday known then as St. Tammany Day. May 1st was declared in 1777, as St. Tammany Day by the Continental Congress as a day to honor the Lenape Sachem Tamanend, the indigenous leader who signed the treaty with William Penn in 1683 and whom Congress considered the Patron Saint of America."
