The original structure consisted of a single room with an enormous hearth that remains a centerpiece of today’s much larger house. Glen Fern was originally known as the, for the family that bought the house and corn-grinding mill on the property — one of many mills along the creek in the second half of the 18th century.
Despite descriptions on some vintage postcards, the Livezey house never served as a headquarters for Gen. George Washington in 1776. “This false legend was made [up] by early-19th-century postcard makers in Germany,” Johnson said. “There’s a lot of lore and legends around this house, along with the actual facts.”Adams described living at Glen Fern as “cohabiting with nature” and as a source of connection.
