Valley Living Historical Farm is a 19th century Pennsylvania
German farm dedicated to the preservation and education of
rural farm life. Summer farm tour guides portray family members
of the Johann Zepper descendents through story and hands on
demonstrations. Special events, workshops and educational
programs occur throughout the year, including summer day camps.
Opportunities are available for home school students. Activities
are appropriate for all ages.
"A fabulous place of fun while learning!"
Chandler
Nestled in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern
Pennsylvania, we are open to the general public for tours
during the summer, from the 3rd Saturday in June through
Labor Day plus other extra spring and fall days and special
events with period-dressed "family" members
re-enacting the life of the original Pennsylvania German family
who lived on the farm from the 1760s to 1913. Check out our
Calendar
for extra things happening throughout the year and "A
Common Thread" for a feel of our farm.
We conduct school and special group tours
and programs in the fall, winter and spring. See Educational
Programs for more information. Please call us at 570-992-6161
or E-mail for group/bus
tour reservations. |

 2013
is our 50th Anniversary!
Just read, “Things Aren’t Like They
Used To be, A lot of things are a lot better”.
I’ve been thinking about that and wondering a little. Is
it better to be toting the kids back and forth from Swim
Club, Little League or Scouts, than to have them out picking
berries in their blickies? Is it better to have Grandma
couped up in the Old Folks Home instead of under foot rocking
the baby or peeling the potatoes? Is the roar of the motor
bike and Mack truck more pleasing than the chatter of the
guinea hens or the squeal of the pigs? I can’t decide. In
an old Science book dated 1910 is a Chapter entitled…”The
Story of a Modern Farm.” It shows an illustration of a corseted,
pinafored liberated woman pulling a small kerosene engine
mounted on a wooden wagon. The caption read, “It is easily
drawn from place to place by hand to run a washing machine,
water pump, cream separator and churn, lightening daily
chores to delightful ease.” Now I really don't know… (From
an article written by Alice Wicks, Special Edition Harvest
Festival Newsletter, 1975)
