Reviews
"Beautiful peaceful place! Very happy to find this well maintained historical place near us. They also provide educational events and tours. Just wonderful to be there β‘"
"Peaceful area to walk. I was not able to tour the house, but there are lovely views of the farm and, of course, walking around is free."
"Beautiful, well preserved and restored farmstead of Peter and Rosanna Wentz. They settled here in 1744 and moved into the new house in 1758. The interior of the home has decor and character in keeping with wealthier farmsteads. The home and barn are very large and there are many other smaller buildings. The surrounding grounds and farm are in an idyllic and peaceful setting. This is one of the homes where George Washington stayed. A calendar on their website posts upcoming events. In November there is an Apple cider pressing demonstration and also a Sauerkraut making demonstration. During the month of December there is a candle lighting event. This beautiful historic farm is worth visiting."
"Great stop. Tour of the house and farm (with animals) that was informative without being boring. And guides are friendly. Donations are appreciated, but otherwise the tour is free. Will be back for one of their special events."
"Stopped by for annual sheep shearing and period display event. Volunteers are knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic to share about their craft. Very kid friendly. They have a couple newborn lambs. Tours of the house available and give an interesting perspective to the history of the area. They are boasting a new chicken house/pen. Suggested donation of $2. I certainly encourage a little more to help keep history alive in Montgomery County."
