Welcome!

Welcome to the Peter Wentz Farmstead and thank you for participating in our self-guided tour!  The purpose of this tour is to introduce you to the historical significance of the site, the important parts of the farm, and the natural landscape of the 83-acre property.  Your stops will include the historic house and the farm, as well as additional places for you to view the natural landscape.  You will learn about life in eighteenth-century Pennsylvania, be introduced to our farm animals, and view some plant and wildlife species like water beech, jack in the pulpit, leopard frogs, bluebirds, fox and deer, and so much more.  We hope you enjoy this tour!

When you finish the tour, please take an additional few minutes to complete our feedback survey.  We want to know about your experience!

Continue to the next stop by walking along the gravel pathway, enjoying the natural landscape along the way.  Please stop when you reach the red, two-story building, our Visitor Center.
