Olde Oregon Farmhouse a 19th Century Lancaster County Home Welcomes You with Open Arms

Built in 1869, on the corner of East Oregon Road and Creek Road in Lititz, stands one of the most distinctive farmhouses in the area. Not much has been uncovered about the history of this sturdy structure, but it is known that the original owners were Grabill and Anna Bear. The property is now owned by Todd and Mary Bolinger and has been restored to its original glory as a bed and breakfast known as Olde Oregon Farmhouse.

Creating THE OLDE OREGON FARMHOUSE

Farmhouses are fairly common in Lancaster County, but not many are as distinctive as the stately brick house on the corner of East Oregon Road and Creek Road. Though it’s known Grabill and Anna Bear built it in 1869, public records do not reveal much more than this about its history. The house’s construction boasts exterior walls that are three courses thick of brick and 10-foot-high ceilings.
