Description
Historic Crescent-Chapel Farm! Own apiece of Adams County that dates back to the 1700's and "Manor of the Mask." This property was once owned by Thomas and Richard Penn and then passed on to others; during the Battle of Gettysburg it was owned by Henry Cromer. The 11th Corps of the Army of the Potomac marched and tramped over the farm during the battle. Their unit crest was the Crescent Moon and Rock Creek Chapel once stood at the end of the road; thus, the name of the farm has become The Crescent-Chapel Farm. This unique farm offers many opportunities for the owner. The current owner leases the barn and stable to a friend who saves horses from the slaughterhouse; the fields are leased to a neighboring farmer; and the house has a suite set up for a B&B rental. The pond has numerous varieties of fish including bass, trout, blue gill, catfish and sunfish. There is a stream that flows thru the property and there is a small orchard with apple, peach, pear and plumb trees. The stone portion of the home was built in 1843 and the brick addition was added in the late 1860's to early 1870's. The owner has painstakingly and lovingly restored the home to its original appearance while incorporating a modern kitchen (2008), upgrading the bathrooms and adding modern amenities.
