PETER WENTZ FARMSTEAD

WORCESTER, PA

The Peter Wentz Farmstead is a historic 18th century German-style farm in Worcester, Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia. The farmstead was established in 1758 by Peter and Rosanna Wentz, and it was home to six generations of their descendants until the last family member passed away in 1988. The property consists of a two-story stone house with a symmetrical five-bay facade, a bank barn, and a variety of outbuildings. The house retains many of its original features, including exposed beams, a summer kitchen, and a large stone fireplace in the living room.

The farmstead was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 and is now open to the public for tours and educational programs. The property includes a restored 18th-century kitchen garden, a carriage house, a smokehouse, and a weaving shed. The farmstead also hosts a variety of special events, such as Revolutionary War re-enactments, Colonial-era demonstrations, and workshops.

The Peter Wentz Farmstead is a wonderful example of 18th century Pennsylvania German architecture and culture, and a reminder of the rich history of the area. It is a great place to visit, learn about the past, and explore the beauty of the countryside.
