On a bright September day, under a completely blue sky, excited chatter from a group of women floated across the lawn at Renfrew Museum and Park. It was still summer, but the golden hues of fall, including neighboring cornfields, infused the green agricultural landscape.

Comments such as “this is a hidden gem” and “it’s like we discovered a secret” came from the group as they completed a tour on the 107-acre Franklin County property.

“We hear comments like that all the time,” says Becky LaBarre, Renfrew’s executive director. “Renfrew is a representation of life in south central Pennsylvania that you can’t get anywhere else.”
