Speedwell Forge Preserves Historic Heritage and Expands Farm
The Speedwell Forge estate near Lititz traces its 1760 Ironmaster house to modern farming today. The 450 acre property includes 150 acres of pasture for 65 Holstein cows, corn and soybean grain, and new mechanized hay operations reducing labor. The Darlington farm narrates a shift from timber charcoal to dairy and crops as documented in Farming, April 23, 1960.
