Five Springs The Rhoads-Lorah Farmstead (owned and restored by David & Liz Goldfarb) Berks County, Pennsylvania Listed in The National Register of Historic Places March 29, 2007

Known as "Five Springs" or "The Rhoads/Lorah Homestead" this historic ca. 1830 Pennsylvania German farmstead is located in the town of Yellow House in the Oley Valley. The wonderful limestone house has been remarkably preserved and restored. In front of the house is a springhouse over one of the springs. The grounds are comprised of eleven plus acres of gardens, huge specimen trees, rolling meadows and lawns. A summer kitchen over a springhouse was converted in the 1930's to a guesthouse overlooking two of the springs and the stream that feeds the pond. A large Pennsylvania stone ender bank barn and numerous outbuildings complete the farmstead which is walking distance from the historic Yellow House Inn.
