Western York County home owner seeks info on old toll house

|

Anita Meyers, keystonealarm@comcast.net, is new owner of the Ten Mile House in the village of Farmers, west of the York Airport.

The 6817 Lincoln Highway address is sometimes referred to as Helen's Antiques, named for the former occupant.

Anita is seeking information about the house. Early on, she understood that the house might have been Gen. John B. Gordon's headquarters on June 27, 1863, the night before his brigade entered York along with three other similar units from Jubal Early's division.

The yorktownsquare.com post, Where did Gen. Gordon accept York's surrender? explains the actual location of the site where York's fathers surrendered to the rebels.

Anita provided some information that might jar memories:
