Sztenderowicz Farm - Cornwells Heights

My great uncle and aunt and their children, the Sztenderowicz family, were tenant farmers on this land in the 1960s. At the time, the land was owned by Liberty Bell Racetrack (now Franklin Mills Mall), which was across the Poquessing Creek in Philadelphia. After they left, the land was loaned in part to the Bensalem Ramblers Youth Organization, and this was its first home before moving down Hulmeville Road to its present location. Many of us would ride our mini bikes and dirt bikes around the premises, and take the trail to Dinosaur Lake on the adjacent property of what was then called the Cornwells Golf Club (now Bensalem Country Club). Dinosaur Lake is a story unto itself deserving of its own entry.
