An undated photograph of the barn located on the property that in 1875 was part of the 84 acre farm of Col. John Matter.
This land was originally part of a larger tract known as Black Oak Bottom and patented to Ludwig Sheitz [Ludwig Sheetz] in 1796.
The property is located in the northwest part of Lykens Township, just north of where the Crossroads intersects with Route 25 and close to the border of Mifflin Township.
