22 HISTORY & HERITAGE Dale-Engle-Walker House See website for hours and tour times Strawbridge Road Samuel Dale, a Scots-Irish immigrant who represented this region in the state legislature, erected the original 1793 limestone house. A stone addition was built in the 1840s; the large wooden porch was added 40 years later. The property s history reflects how the region s agricultural practices changed over time. The Dale family rented the farm to a series of tenants for over 80 years. The Engle family purchased the property in 1929 and operated a dairy there from 1936 until In 1957, Charles and Rosemary Walker bought the house and farm. Forty-four years later, the Union County Historical Society assumed ownership of the 137-acre property, much of which is still actively farmed. The Linn Conservancy maintains the adjacent Dale s Ridge Hiking Trail. House tours focus on Central Pennsylvania history, agriculture, architecture, and slavery. Rotating exhibits feature artifacts and memorabilia from the Society s collection as well as items on loan for display. The original basement kitchen is furnished with period cooking implements.

That house is now the Packwood House Museum. The earliest section of the building was erected in the late 1790s as a tavern along the Susquehanna River. Over the next 100 years, the building was expanded, becoming a hotel to serve canal, turnpike, and railroad traffic. In 1892, the hotel and carriage house behind it (now the Tour Center on Water Street) were converted into seven rental units. In 1936, Edith Fetherston and her husband John returned to Lewisburg. They renovated the building and converted it into a house furnished with her vast and eclectic collections of 18th-20th century furniture, textiles, decorative arts, Oriental art, and Pennsylvania crafts. Visitors today see the house much as Edith and John left it. Open for guided tours, Packwood House features two major exhibits each year, plus a wide range of other programs.
