This house was built
with local stone by Michael Braun in 1766. It is the last
remaining colonial structure in the County. Michael immigrated to
Pennsylvania from
before settling here. At that time this area was
unsettled, covered in heavy thicket (rather
than forests as generally thought). It is worth noting that this grand structure was not typical of the
period.
Did you know that Pennsylvania Dutch were not from the
Netherlands? This term refers to the original German immigrants
who settled in Pennsylvania, mainly from
the 18th century.
