Nicholas Stoltzfus house

Thanks to all those who attended the
7th Annual Auction May 9, 2009
and special thanks to all those who organize
this event every year.


The May 9, 2009 auction was another successful event and contributed ever closer to the eventual barn raising. See photos below. Donations are tax exempt. Start planning to be at next years event May of 2010.

The barn design is halfway between a barn and a carriage house. The plans include restrooms, a meeting area, some archival space, and a small apartment. The rendering and model of the barniage are shown below. The completed barn will enable groups such as reunions to assemble at the Stoltzfus House, have a picnic in a pavilion which will be shared with Country Meadows, and then cross the Tulpehocken Creek for the trails, the Gruber Wagon Works, or the Canal Museum. All this will make a family day special.
