A Modest Mennonite Home

by Steve Friesen

In this 128 page book, Steve Friesen tells the story of the Hans Herr House located in an area known as "Conestoga" in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1719 by Mennonites who traveled west from Philadelphia to settle in this area of Pennsylvania. To this day, the house remains an integral part of not only Lancaster County history, but that of the settlement by Mennonites nearly 300 years ago. Includes several black and white photos, illustrations and a few color photos as well.

Interesting read about one branch of my family tree. I am happy to have such ancestors!! I wonder if I would have been as courageous.

I wish I had read this BEFORE I went to Pennsylvania on vacation this year. It goes into maybe a bit too much detail, but the history of this house (back to 1719) really is very well documented.
