Memorial Day Service
On Memorial Day, we were deeply moved by the support from our community as we honored the brave servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. The dedication and commitment shown by the VFW Post 6613 Bonaventure-Clark, Lenni, PA, and the Chester Heights Fire Co. were truly inspiring. We are grateful for their unwavering commitment to honoring our heroes and ensuring their legacy lives on.

Sprucehaven Farm
Sprucehaven Farm on Valleybrook Road just north of the community park is one of the best examples of Chester Heights’ deep colonial roots. According to 1870s history of the area, before the establishment of Aston, a tract of one thousand acres, surveyed by Thomas Brassey in 1684, was divided before 1710 into smaller farms. One hundred and nineteen acres bordering Concord Township was granted to Thomas Martin. Thomas Martin, a founder of Aston Township, built Sprucehaven Farm circa 1734.

Sprucehaven Farm, one of the last surrounding ‘federal vernacular’ styles of architecture still standing in the Borough, is a large stone house with several additions over its 290-year history, plus accessory buildings that are still intact and masterfully modernized. The large barn that fronts on Heather Lane has over time served as a livestock barn, a carriage house, a shop for the restoration of antique automobiles, and now as a professional office. There is also a 19th-century bank barn and a colonial-era root cellar. The home remained with the Martin Family until the early 1900’s. Its owners over the years have worked hard to maintain the historic character of the home. Sprucehaven Farm’s 7.2 acres are accented by a beautiful London Plane tree that stands as the 6th largest in Pennsylvania. The ghost of a young French-speaking female is rumored to haunt the 3rd floor. | | |
