RURAL VENUE
The backdrop for your special event highlights the history and beauty of Lancaster County; the quietly beautiful rolling hills, winding Octorara Creek, neatly cultivated fields, lush green pastures, the farmhouse, barn and ruin built in the early 1700s. This rural setting is surrounded by Amish farms which give this venue a unique 'Pennsylvania Dutch' experience.
Our Vision
Today the 3rd generation owners operate under the Bartshire Preservation Trust. It is the desire of the Trust to maintain the colonial heritage and authenticity of the property as a modern day reflection of historical Lancaster County life.
