ABOUT TREDYFFRIN HISTORIC PRESERVATION TRUST

The Trust is a nonprofit organization established in 2002 in response to the threat to demolish the historic eighteenth century Jones Log Barn. The Trust's mission is to preserve and protect historic and cultural resources in Tredyffrin Township for the benefit of present and future generations and to educate the public about the preservation and protection of historic and cultural settings.

A major attraction planned for Tredyffrin Township and the local community is the rebuilt historic Jones Log Barn as a living history museu. Visitors will experience the Jones Barn and the Trust's historic exhibits and artifacts, as well as lectures, demonstrations, community functions, children's activities.

Once rebuilt, the Jones Log Barn will operate on a seasonable basis. The Jones Log Barn will be rebuilt at historic DuPortail House in Chesterbrook. The living history museum, the Jones Log Barn, will join the 18th Federal Barn and the DuPortail House to create a historic enclave for the community to enjoy. The Jones Log Barn will be placed on the original stone foundation of an earlier barn which burned down in the 1980s.
