Things to do in Milan Pa.

By:b hirst

Milan is located in the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania in Bradford County. Milan is 2 miles south of the New York boarder on a main road Rt. 220. We have purchased 5 farms and woodlots around this town. We are in the process of planting trees for our retail nursery operations. This area has great hunting. Have you ever wanted to go looking for artifacts? Our farm allows you to hunt for arrowheads! We charge for this service, but where else are you allowed to go and search. We have 3 farms located near the confluence of the Susquehanna and the Chemung Rivers in Bradford County Pa.. These farms are at the southern most part of what is now Athens Township. The river flats on our farms is what was once part of an Indian village known as Queen Esthers Town. This town was along the west bank of the of the river just south of the confluence. It exended for miles south along the river. As much as 5 miles of flats were inhabited. There are estimates of 70 houses being occupied in this vicinity. There is a historic marker along Rt. 220 which is on our property. It describes Queen Esthers Town. This area was also the site of the South Door of Iroquoise Long House which was located near the confluence of the two rivers. The indian settlement was destroyed on Sept. 27,1778 by Col. Thomas Hartley.

This first picture below shows a topo of 3 properties. The Page Farm is 100ac. It is on both sides of Rt.220 and goes to the river. The second farm is the Tubbs Farm. It has 296ac. The Griffiths Woodlot is a 118ac. parcel of forest land. It is on both sides of East Smithfield Rd. There are 2 other properties not shown. The Harris Farm 240ac. and the Temple 22acre properties.The wooded areas on all these properties were lightly timbered in 1999. There is a large mix of open, wooded, wetlands, creeks, and river flats on these properties. Most of the ground is also connected. 80 acres on the Harris properety is within 100yds of the other lands. This 80 acre tract does connect with another farm of 320 acres that we will probably buy in Sept. of 2005. These are all active farms. There are tree farming, dairy herds, u-pick berry farm, and crop farming on these farms. The farms have many fields that are planted with corn. The corn is usually still standing on some fields durring the rifle-deer season. Bradford County usually has enough doe tags that if you sign up in time you will get one
