This Christmas if you are looking for a home tour which is rich in history and filled with stone houses and colonial architecture, why not give the Oley Valley 2011 Holiday House Tour in Oley Pennsylvania a try. It will be held on December 3, Saturday from 10-5. If you check the journal of Heinrich Gudehus that we have online, you will find that Oley was one of the first towns Gudehus came to from Germany prior to becoming a schoolteacher at Moselem Springs.

In our previous Foursquare Garden article we posted in Signs of the Times, we discussed the length of the garden the Pennsylvania Germans designed as being sixty-six feet long. This was because the length of an eighteenth century fence panel or rail was eleven feet. There is also an important invention designed in England that helped to shape the layout of our nation. The Gunter's chain played a primary role in mapping out America in for three hundred years beginning in the 1600's.
