Chester Springs, Pennsylvania
Located in Chester County
Chester Springs, part of the famous Brandywine Valley area, is located east of the greater Philadelphia area, and is in the heart of Chester County. This is a community that has deep roots in the history of the country, and in the last few years has seen a revival in terms of growth, although it has kept a small village feel to it. Here, homes are lovingly restored and show the charm of small town life in the Colonial, Federal, Greek Revival, Victorian and twentieth century styles. Many of these, along with designated Historic Districts, are part of this summer's tour itineraries. In Pennsylvania, Chester County is second only to Philadelphia in the number of properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Observe the preservation and adaptive reuse of our period architecture - to inspire ideas for your own lifestyle. New development is currently underway, and reflects the higher prices of the housing market. A two bedroom home sells for between $200,000 to $300,000, there are some three bedroom homes in the $300,000 range, and some four bedroom homes for $400,000 and up. Nestled along the Pickering Creek in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, the Mill at Anselma is an extraordinary artifact of 250 years of Chester County's industrial heritage. Constructed in 1747 by Samuel Lightfoot, the Mill retains its original Colonial-Era power train, as well as multiple layers of industrial equipment ranging from the late 1700s to the mid 1900s. The Mill and the village of Anselma demonstrate how eighteenth-century technology was adapted to serve the prosperity of the Industrial Revolution and the challenges of the Great Depression. Through the efforts of The Mill at Anselma Preservation and Educational Trust, this nationally significant grist mill will be restored and returned to operation for the enjoyment of families, schoolchildren, tourists and scholars.
