250 Years of History

The Cook Farm 250th Celebration is not only a celebration for the United States 250th anniversary but for the Colonel Cook Farm built in 1776. It will be a full day of historical reenactments, entertainment, educational demonstrations, guest speakers, music, live battle fields, kids activities with a petting zoo, horse drawn wagon rides, pictures with Scottish Highland cattle, vendors and lots of good food!

"The house is considered one of the most important surviving 18th-century homes in western Pennsylvania."
