DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Greene Township--Conococheague Rural Historic District;
Determination of Eligibility for the National Register of Historic
Places
Action: Request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 3, 1995, the Greene Township--Conococheague Rural
Historic District, Franklin County, Pennsylvania was determined
eligible for the National Register of Historic Places for its historic
and architectural importance, following a request from the Federal
Highway Administration. The district consists of a landscape farmed
continuously since the eighteenth century and reflects the agricultural
patterns of the rich Cumberland Valley. Important features found in the
district include intact farmsteads, with their significant collection
of barns, farmhouses and outbuildings, the field patterns, fencerows,
the network of the historic farm roads, and the remains of the once
active and important industrial activities performed along
Conococheague Creek. The finding of eligibility was based upon review
of documentation submitted by the Federal Highway Administration, the
Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, and Greene Township.
Since the determination of eligibility was made, property owners
within the district, the Federal Highway Administration, and township
officials have written to us either endorsing or disagreeing with the
determination of eligibility. In order to accommodate those who wish to
provide new information on whether or not this property meets the
National Register Criteria for Evaluation, the National Park Service is
providing a 60 day comment period. A written statement on the
determination of eligibility will be issued by the National Park
Service within 30 days of the close of the comment period.
The determination of eligibility remains in effect pending review
of responses submitted during the comment period. To determine that the
property is not eligible or to revise the boundary, the National Park
Service must receive authoritative information, which evaluated in
conjunction with documentation already on file, results in a finding
that the property does not meet the National Register Criteria for
Evaluation or that the boundary does not accurately delineate the
historic district in accordance with established National Register
standards.
Comments should be addressed to the National Register of Historic
Places, National Park Service, P.O. Box 37127, Washington, D.C. 20013-
7127.
Carol D. Shull,
Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places, National Register,
