The Academy Farm

In Huntingdon Valley, in the small Borough of Bryn Athyn, stood the structures that made up the Academy Farm.  The farm and the house & barn predate the Academy era of the farm, as probably do some of the other structures.  It it believed that the oldest portion of the farmhouse dates back to the 18th century, making it one of the oldest - if not THE oldest - house in the borough and even perhaps in Huntingdon Valley.  The photos in this small exhibit tell just a small part of the story of the Academy Farm. The barn was torn down in 2023 to make way for a new elementary school building.  The farmhouse still stands.
