In January, 2003, Saucon Valley
Conservancy created The House Committee of Heller Homestead.
The House Committee’s goals:
• to evaluate domestic and agricultural life at Heller Homestead;
• to research deeds and the owners of the Homestead from 1750-1950;
• to establish a timeline of domestic evolution based on those
dates.
The conditions of the rooms have been documented, then styles of
decor were researched for each room and based on periods of former
property owners.
Members and friends of the Conservancy continue to generously donate
furniture and accessories of historic value to further complete each
room. Donated furnishings are archived and become the Acquisitions
Collection of Saucon Valley Conservancy.
Historic furnishings at Heller Homestead are not only a resource for
educational purposes, but also part of the Conservancy’s mission to
preserve local history and to share these treasures with the
community.
Saucon Valley Conservancy is proud to welcome you
to make a
Journey through Time - Room by Room
at Heller
Homestead.
