Elm Lowne

School District: Pennsbury

In 1999, one of Lower Makefields rare remaining farms was offered for sale to the public. Some within township government recognized the uniqueness and value of the property and arranged for its purchase under preservation ordinances.

Today Elm Lowne survives as a community resource. (We took the photos, right, when preparing the sales brochure for the listing realtor.)
