Hidden in Plain View

I've heard that natives of Philadelphia have never seen the Liberty Bell. And that it is possible to live and work in Manhattan and never go to the top of the Empire State Building. So if you don't know where the "Shelter House" is in Emmaus, it's okay. Sort of.

This is an oak and chestnut loghouse built in 1734. It "sheltered" community members in times of Indian raids. Families lived in it until 1952 when it was purchased by a preservation society. Emmaus Borough now owns it and the Shelter House Society helps maintain it. Extensive repairs where made in 1991. Occasionally, it is open for tours. Don't miss your chance

to see this unique German colonial farmhouse.

There are treasures all around us. Eyes wide open, please!
