Things to do in Milan Pa. (Of All Places In The World)
Milan is located in the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania in
Bradford County. Milan is 2 miles south of the New York boarder
on a main road Rt. 220. We have purchased 5 farms and woodlots
around this town. We are in the process of planting trees for
our retail nursery operations. This area has great hunting. Have
you ever wanted to go looking for artifacts? Our farm allows you
to hunt for arrowheads! We charge for this service, but where
else are you allowed to go and search. We have 3 farms located
near the confluence of the Susquehanna and the Chemung Rivers in
Bradford County Pa.. These farms are at the southern most part
of what is now Athens Township. The river flats on our farms is
what was once part of an Indian village known as Queen Esthers
Town. This town was along the west bank of the of the river just
south of the confluence. It exended for miles south along the
river. As much as 5 miles of flats were inhabited. There are
estimates of 70 houses being occupied in this vicinity. There is
a historic marker along Rt. 220 which is on our property. It
describes Queen Esthers Town. This area was also the site of the
South Door of Iroquoise Long House which was located near the
confluence of the two rivers. The indian settlement was
destroyed on Sept. 27,1778 by Col. Thomas Hartley.
This first picture below shows a topo of 3 properties. The Page
Farm is 100ac. It is on both sides of Rt.220 and goes to the
river. The second farm is the Tubbs Farm. It has 296ac. The
Griffiths Woodlot is a 118ac. parcel of forest land. It is on
both sides of East Smithfield Rd. There are 2 other properties
not shown. The Harris Farm 240ac. and the Temple 22acre
properties.The wooded areas on all these properties were lightly
timbered in 1999. There is a large mix of open, wooded,
wetlands, creeks, and river flats on these properties. Most of
the ground is also connected. 80 acres on the Harris properety
is within 100yds of the other lands. This 80 acre tract does
connect with another farm of 320 acres that we will probably buy
in Sept. of 2005. These are all active farms. There are tree
farming, dairy herds, u-pick berry farm, and crop farming on
these farms. The farms have many fields that are planted with
corn. The corn is usually still standing on some fields durring
the rifle-deer season. Bradford County usually has enough doe
tags that if you sign up in time you will get one
