Quiet Valley Living Historical
Farm is a non-profit, educational corporation dedicated to
the preservation and presentation of Pennsylvania's agricultural
heritage.
Quiet Valley is open to the general public from
June 20 to Labor Day and conducts school and special tours
in the fall, winter and spring. Period-dressed "family"
members reenact the life of the original Pennsylvania German
family who lived on the farm from the 1760s to 1913. The farm
also hosts a number of special events throughout the year.

Bill Edwards, who retired from Quiet Valley in the summer
of 2007 as Farm Manager, died in a tragic industrial accident
at a part time job he held at a recycling company in Plainfield
Township on Saturday, May 3.
At Quiet Valley he was the farmer/educator,
delighting school children and their parents with lively
educational programs, for 12 years. He maintained the buildings,
livestock and grounds and became the Farm Manager. Many
a child and adult will remember his riviting performances
as the Belschnickel at Old Time Christmas.
He will be greatly missed by all.
