Local History

Today's Lincoln Highway runs on a historic route connecting ​​Philadelphia to modern Pittsburgh.  This route was travelled by George Washington in the French & Indian War and later become the path for the modern highway.  An early camp used in this era was located about a mile from our home.

The home was built around 1930.  The basement was dug by hand and the original structure -- consisting of the present day bedrooms and bathrooms -- was in near a grove.  The family has shared fond memories of selling fruits, cider, and maple syrup at a roadside stand.  There are still fruit trees today near the property!

The area has long been a getaway for recreation.  Idlewild amusement park built its first rollar coaster in 1938; the Sliding Rock Golf Course immediately adjacent has been family owned and operated since 1939; Laurel Mountain ski resort opened in 1940.

Over the decades this home received several additions.  It has recently been significantly remodeled to create a comfortable and modern experience for guests.
