Celebrating our story

This place we call home has seen many changes in the 300 years since the John Diffenderfer and his family chose to live in the area that would come to be known as New Holland.

From 1728 to 2028

A single road passed through. Farms were cultivated on both sides of the road. A public school is formed. More people settled here. Now many homes, several business, and an always bustling Route 23.

Farm buildings in the distance with a green field and a wooden fence close.

About Us
