Michael Yahner - Realtor

Before I became a Real Estate Agent I worked for my cousin at her Historic Preservation business (Owen's Historic Preservation). We got to work on structures that held historic relevance throughout PA. One of the last projects I worked on was this farm house. When Washington and Lafayette led the Battle of Brandywine in Chadds Ford, PA in 1777, they commandeered two farm houses as headquarters. This is the home that Washington used. Pretty cool to stand in the exact spot that our future first President stood! We restored the shutters and I stripped and repainted all of the trim on the house. Though, but rewarding work!
