Crook Farm Heirloom Garden

This garden area is set in the Crook Farm Homestead. This property is managed by the Landmark Society in Bradford, PA, and includes the Crook Farmhouse, constructed originally in 1856 and believed to be the oldest such structure in the area. It also includes the Olmstead Well Site, the first large producer of oil from the Bradford Oil Field. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 26, 1976. The garden area contains only heirloom varieties and examples of what would have been grown by the settlers in the late 1800s in this area.
