Available for C.A.H.S. Donation: St. Mary's Pew Benches.
A limited number of pew ends from St. Mary's Catholic, Mission Church, Safe Harbor, are being made available through a donation to the Conestoga Area Historical Society. These are not to be confused with the pew doors that were previously made available. The sides have the original 19th century light brown faux grain paint. The bench's seat and back duplicate the original green paint. The minimum length of the custom assembled benches is three feet. They may be obtained for a donation of $300.00. Additional length benches may be ordered in increments of $100.00 per foot. A one half of total amount deposit is required at the time of the bench's reservation. The remaining amount must be given at the time of the bench's completion and pick-up at the C.A.H.S. The benches will be made by a C.A.H.S. craftsman. No definite completion dates can be given. A sample bench may be seen at the C.A.H.S., 51 Kendig Road, Conestoga, PA., during museum hours: Saturdays and Sundays 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Reservation arrangements may be made at that time. Also, one pew frontal panel is immediately available for a $400.00 donation. It is faux grained painted, divided into 7'4" long unit and measures 34" high.

Thomas D Grassel's
Gallery of Early Agriculture
The 2012 Exhibit at the Conestoga Area Historical Society featured the farm models of Tom Grassel. Over the winter the property team constructed a room dedicated to these models. Tom Grassel has been ever so kind to donate the models to the CAHS. This new room is at the front of Gundel Hall and is absolutely beautifully done. In addtion to the models, there are six monitors which will be continously run which will show Tom Grassel and his family and friends farming the land in the same spirit is was done in years gone by prior to the the advent of mechanized farming.
I am attaching a link to a small video of the room housing Tom's models and the Gallery. When visiting the Conestoga Area Historical Society, this gallery is a must see exhibit.
