Sounds cool!
#FromtheArchives Oxford's Industries
This is one of our favorite photographs of Oxford. This photo is definitely between 1863 and 1890 because the rolling mill and other industries were still in use. By 1900, the rolling mill was sold by Empire Steel & Iron to the Jenson Brothers. It was dismantled and taken to PA (location undetermined). I didn't realize it at first, but Col. Scranton's house (formerly the Axford house), along what is now Lower Denmark (then was a part of Buttzville Road), is somewhat visible.
Unfortunately, what we don't see in this photograph is Shippen Manor. It would've been well off the right side (south) of the image.
Notice the lack of trees, the smoky haze in the air. The industrialism of the 19th c. took its told on the environment and community.

#MuseumDay Sun., Oct 1st (1-4pm)
Autumn has arrived to Shippen Manor! We will be providing guided tours of our main floor on Sunday, October 1st from 1-4 pm (last tours begin at 3:30 pm).
If you venture along our driveway to the lower level, enter through our porch door and visit with Cat, our docent, who will be discussing "Laundry Days" to our visitors. This is the last day for this topic. (The next is "Food Preservation"-- Oct 8 and Nov 12.)
Parking on site is limited. If there are no open parking spaces (in our small Belvidere Ave lot or in the back parking), please park in town. We have areas on site that are coned off because they are fragile historical areas that we want to protect.
This is a family-friendly site. (We'll have a little something for the kiddos as well!)
Admission is free.
Entrances to the main floor are along the boardwalk (one is ADA accessible and the other is the main entrance).
See you at the Manor!
