Antes House Restoration
The Henry Antes House, located in the township of Upper Frederick, Pennsylvania, is the Historic House Museum of the the Goschenhoppen Historians, Inc.
The house is being preserved and restored to the period of Antes' lifetime as a living history museum. Designed and built by Henry Antes in 1736, this massive stone building is an excellent example of Germanic settlement houses. Two and one half centuries after its construction, the building is remarkably well preserved. With its steep roof containing two floors in the attic, three room floor plan and massive internal fireplace, this pre-1760s house preserves rare evidence of early cultural traditions in the settlement of the colonies.
If you would like to donate towards this restoration, please click on the Ways to Give tab , or contact Red Men's Hall.
