History and architectural features
The main house, which was built circa 1812, is a two-and-one-half-story, four-bay, stone dwelling, with a two-bay addition that was built circa 1815. It was restored between 1974 and 1975. The property also includes the brick Fahnestock farmstead (1812), a small stone butcher/smoke house, a stone and log milkhouse, and a large frame barn with distinctive cupolas that was built in 1896.
The property was deeded to the Borough of Waynesboro in 1973, and has operated as the Renfrew Museum and Park since 1975.[2]
