Heritage Preservation

This is where we ask for you to get involved in helping to preserve the heritage of Nicholas Stoltzfus and the historical home he owned on the banks of the Tulpehocken creek. There are several ways you can get involved.

Spread the word

  • Let your friends and family know about the Nicholas Stoltzfus House
  • Plan a family reunion at the house, or organize with your siblings to take a tour together.
  • Help distribute copies of the Homestead Newsletter to interested friends and family members - click here to see all the newsletters

Volunteer

There are several events throughout the year where many volunteers are needed to help, or maybe you can help around the house with cleaning or trimming weeds etc. contact Paul Kurtz to find your spot in the organization. Paul Kurtz, psku04@ptd.net 717-808-7785

Future Efforts

In the coming months, there will be additional ways to help us connect around this great mission - to preserve our heritage, history, and the stories that make it meaningful.

We are hoping a community will spring up on the social web to participate and discuss the research that is going on regarding Nicholas and his family.

We hope to begin an effort to connect cousins and help them trace their roots back to Nicholas Stoltzfus.

We want to encourage people to develop Wikipedia articles for some of the research done here. As well, it would be great to share some of your Stoltzfus related photos on Flickr.
