A New porch on the Farquhar Family Home


The latest photos of the Robert Farquhar family home were taken in November of 2014.


Once the porch was restored the home now resembles the original homestead.

The first memory I have of the Farquhar home was when my grandmother Gladys Bell Wolfe shared a photo of the home with our family after she arrived home from her trip to reconnect with family Perryopolis, PA.

Since her death other family members like Peggy Farquhar have shared other photos the house. But I think my thrill came when I went to Perryopolis, PA myself and as we wound down the winding road of Redstone Church the old house came into view.

The house sits as an icon for the Farquhar family descendants, whose roots began there.
