River Bend Farm, Historic farm in East Coventry Township, Pennsylvania.
The River Bend Farm property includes five acres of land with stone structures featuring stuccoed walls and pegged rafters characteristic of Chester County construction.
Michael Hillegas, the first Treasurer of the United States, purchased this 600-acre parcel in 1764 from Pennsylvania proprietors Thomas and Richard Penn.
The farmhouse interior maintains original elements such as built-in cupboards, wainscoting, and vertical plank boards that represent early American architectural craftsmanship.
The farm, located north of Spring City on Sanatoga Road, provides educational tours that showcase 18th-century Pennsylvania farming and construction methods.
The farmhouse features exceptionally tall ceilings for its period, measuring 9 feet 7 inches on the first floor and 8 feet 11 inches on the second floor.
