The Penn Church
This is the Penn Church at rural Brownton. Dad’s entire family was baptized and confirmed in this church. When the congregation could no longer support it, my cousin Dan bought the church site . . . lock, stock and barrel. Two years ago it got a new steel roof. Today Dennis and I watched a two man crew work on prepping the steeple for a new steel covering. The bell tower is remaining to have the old shingles taken off and prepped for steel. The area around the wooden shutters will also be new steel. A two man crew with both men at the very top. I would imagine there is a backup plan in the event of a power failure on the mechanical end of this lift. Saving history is Dan’s passion with this site. I applaud him. Dan wasn’t at the site today as he had 80 acres of alfalfa to process and get into bunkers for his 100 head of Holstein dairy herd.
