My Polaroid print of the Hans Herr House. |
The Hans Herr House built in 1719. |
This stone above the front door has initials for Christian H. Herr with the date 17 on the left preceded by a symbol meaning "in the year of our Lord", and a 19 on the right. |
This is the Shaub home built in 1835. |
The rear of the Huber Home built by David H. Huber in 1892. |
This is the blacksmith's shop on the property. |
I am thrilled to read your article as it answers my questions about the connection between the Hans Herr House and the Huber family for me.
ReplyDeleteWhen my husband and I toured the house (probably about 30 years ago), I realized I had been to a picnic on the property.
I finally verified through a Penn State publication that my grandfather’s fraternity had reunions at the Huber farm and that I had been there in 1953 and possibly also in 1952. The pictures included my parents, paternal grandparents, my dad’s sister and me and Polly and Dave Huber along with another Waynesboro man, Ben Welty.
Again, I appreciate your blog.
