The Tate Farm
The
restored farmhouse and formal garden was the scene of trade
with the Indians and settlers along Beaver Dam Creek
and later part of the Gettysburg Campaign.
On July 2, 1863 Union and Confederate cavalry collided head on here.
Washington
had his horse shod at the farm's blacksmith shop
on his return from quelling the Whiskey Rebellion.
The outbuildings at Tate Farm are original:
a summer kitchen with walk in fireplace, a granary, spring
house,
carriage house, garden shed, outhouse, stable,
and large barn with a cannonball hole.
