What's Happening?
The Horn Farm Center for Agricultural Education in York County, Pennsylvania, has reopened its historic 1840s farmhouse after five years of renovations. The farmhouse, which was nearly destroyed by a lightning-induced fire in 2021, has been restored with
over a million dollars in funding. It will now serve as a community learning center, featuring classroom space and energy-efficient upgrades. The reopening coincided with the center's annual Plant Sale, attracting agricultural enthusiasts and community members.
