These two photographs show the Michael Harnish House which was built in the mid-1740s. It was moved to this site in 2000 and opened later that year after restoration. The Bible featured in the top photo was printed by Rimber and Scharplet in the early 19th century. The Bible was open to the family record page which showed the dates of the marriage of Barbara Buchwalter and Jacob Harnish (Nov. 14, 1850). The chest featured in the photo was from the early 19th century. It bears the initials B.B.H. which would have been Barbara Buchwalter Harnish. A wedding date of 1850 can also be seen on the chest. The bottom photo shows more furniture and displays written material found in the home. |
