Ellmaker Homestead farm. The front garden, old spinning wheels used by previous generations - the wheel on the porch was brought from the Palatinate, Frankenthal, in May 1726, by Mrs. John Leonard Ellmaker (born Hornberger) when she came to Lancaster County, PA.
Ellmaker Homestead farm. All that now remains of the old apple tree, originally brought from the Palatinate by Mrs. Anna Margaretha Ellmaker (Hornberger) when she and her husband, John Leonard Ellmaker, came to Lancaster County in 1726. It flourshed for 160 years until about 1886. The farm was sold in 1887, the life of the old tree may therefore be said to have been coexisted with that of the farm itself in the Ellmaker Family.
