Darryl Gore- Dennis Farm

from Ancestral Muses Hosted by Pamela Bussey

Darryl shares his family history of Dennis Farm located in Susquehanna County Pennsylvania. The family of Prince Perkins, free African Americans who emigrated to northeast Pennsylvania from Connecticut in 1793 with the original wave of settlement into the region following the American Revolution, first settled the Dennis Farm. Their direct descendants, the Dennis family, have retained stewardship of the property to the present day, although it hasn’t been a working farm since the early twentieth century. The history of the Dennis Farm and the Perkins- Dennis family is fully documented. This continuous and documented ownership of property by African Americans, in a northeast county largely populated by European Americans represents an overlooked and remarkable story in American history that holds lessons for us today. The Dennis Farm is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Information obtained from website- https://thedennisfarm.org
