Alexander Schaeffer Farm

Set on the scenic 85-acre farm south of the village, the site hosts living history cultural events and educational tours. The mid-18th-century Schaeffer House represents a rare survival of the European tradition of combining domestic and manufacturing activities in the same building. In this case, whiskey distilling was done on premises in the early days. The house has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1972. The U. S. Secretary of the Interior designated it a National Historic Landmark in July 2011. A ceremony unveiling the National Historic Landmark plaque was held in June 2012.
