(Click on photo to enlarge)This large brick farmhouse is located at 16878 Susquehanna Trail South, near New Freedom, Pennsylvania. The Susquehanna Trail runs north and south between York and the Maryland state line and the house is about a mile and a half north of the Maryland line. It was built on the site of a tavern called the Blue Ball Inn, once owned and operated by Adam Hendrix Jr. The tavern may have been operated by Nicholas Yost, Jr. prior to his death in 1785.
The Hendrix family graveyard is located about 120 feet behind the house. It is enclosed by a wire fence to keep the cattle out. The cemetery is overgrown with tall weeds and brush.
The property is currently owned and occupied by the Phillips family. These pictures were taken by Charles Diederich in September 2001, who visited with Mrs. Naomi Phillips at the time.
