Notes
  • Significance: The Scheetz Farm is significant for its architecture and history, showing the evolution of a historic farm property in over two centuries of growth. The vernacular house on the property demonstrates an additive construction history with portions dating to the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. The development of the property, especially the expansion of the house, reveals the agricultural and industrial prosperity of Montgomery Count in general and the Scheetz family in particular. The Scheetz family were prominent farmers, paper millers, public officials, and military veterans. The property achieved local prominence as the site of Scheetz paper mill, built in 1769 and destroyed in 1929. Other significant individuals associated with the property include Nicholas Scull Jr., Surveyor General of Pennsylvania from 1748 to 1761, who was born and raised on this land during the period of early settlement. Significant Revolutionary War events also took place on and adjacent to the property during the Whitemarsh Encampment of 1777.
