BOWMANSVILLE ROLLER MILL - BRECKNOCK
TOWNSHIP
The Trust acquired the Bowmansville Roller Mill property as an estate donation.
Roofing, surveying and subdivision costs, plumbing, pest control, sewer
installation, and legal and preservation counsel were necessary to bring
the property to top condition for long-term preservation.
As part of our preservation plan,the Trust sold the mill to a local
couple who will keep the mill preserved, continue mill operations and
work with the Trust to adhere to the tenets of the will.
We are pleased to report the family has built an architecturally-sensitive
home on the property making it much easier for them to accomplish their
goals and responsibilities for preservation.

RIEBER HOUSE -
MANOR TOWNSHIP
The Trust, working with partners from the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management
Authority, the Lancaster County Environmental Foundation, Manor Township
and descendants of the Rieber Family in several states, facilitated moving
this historic 1700s era settler's farmhouse to a more useful and protected
site. We facilitated the exterior restoration and will provide guidance
for the interior restoration and adaptive re-use. Eventually, it will be
used as a community environmental and educational center as part of the
Manor Township park system. |

BAUSMAN FARMSTEAD
Home to some of the earliest settlers of what is now Lancaster Township,
the Bausman farmstead had been empty for some time. A national register
property, the owner wanted to protect the property from possible development
and severe alteration. The Trust assisted the owner in placing a historic
preservation easement on three significant buildings prior to its sale to
a local family. The family agreed to maintain the property in accordance
with the easement and has done a marvelous job accomplishing much in a short
period of time. |
