Erdenheim Farm : ウィキペディア英語版 | Erdenheim Farm
Erdenheim Farm is a 450-acre (1.82 km2) working farm in Springfield and Whitemarsh Townships, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States. Located just outside the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia, it is bordered by the Morris Arboretum to the east, Whitemarsh Valley Country Club to the south, Carson Valley School to the north, and Corson's Quarry to the west. The Wissahickon Creek flows through the farm, and Stenton Avenue crosses it. All but 23 acres of the land is now protected from development by preservation easements. ==Early history==
In 1765, Johannes Georg Hocker (1733-1820), a German immigrant, paid £1,600 to buy 200 acres in Springfield Township west of the Wissahickon Creek.〔William Osborne Wingeard, ''Hacker–Hocker: A German-American Genealogy'', (Gateway Press, 1991), p. 670.〕 He named his farm "Erdenheim," meaning "Earthly Home."〔Jim Foley, ("Erdenheim Farm transitions into the 21st century," ) from Springfield Township Historical Society.〕
