Echo Hill Farm's Bank Barn, an historic structure,  started as a small log barn structure in the mid-1700's. Through the years it was a working dairy farm until pasteurized milk in the mid 1950's.  It then became a horse farm knows as  The Squire Equestrian Center and 40 years ago, the horses turned into horsepower stored in the barn.Today, 2020, for the first time in over 250 years, the barn was open, by appointment, as The Barn Shop & Art Gallery, where everything old is new again,  helping to downsize our antiques and collections over 50 years of treasure hunting.  With plenty of room to social distance, it's an ideal location for intimate team building, children's activities, art workshops, field yoga and more but we are currently restricted and  pre-registration private appointments are needed.  All activities help in the preservation of this historic barn for future generations.From Washington to Wyeth, Echo Hill Farm is located in the immediate vicinity of many of our nation’s historic events and markers on trails of The Lenni Lenape Indians, The American Revolutionary War’s Battle of Brandywine, The Dilworthtown Tavern, The Hospital for General George Washington’s soldiers, The 1st United States Post Office, The Underground Railroad and Jill Clayburgh.  There is an historical prospectus of the ‘neighborhood’ structures surrounding Echo Hill Farm from across the street to only a few miles away. Delaware County, Chester County borders did not exist at the time.1687 The William Penn Years & Lenni Lenape Indians Origins: Thornbury Township was organized and only six families were living in the township.  The Lenni Lenape Indians were the inhabitants of this area. One of the earliest and most influential residents was George Pearce, who came from England with William Penn in 1682. Penn gave Pearce about 1,000 acres and the privilege of naming the township. Pearce named the township Thornbury after his wife’s family’s estate in Gloucester, England. The English settlers in Thornbury Township were principally interested in agriculture and agriculturally-related industries and remained a rural agricultural community until the mid 1950’s. The township was well suited for agriculture with its gently rolling hills, fertile soils and abundance of water, mild climate and access to large market.Echo Hill Farm seeks the talents of Carpenters, Painters, Volunteers, Artists, Authors, Instructors, Estate Pieces & Professionals.
