The Mansion at Hibernian is open a couple times a year, during the Christmas season the Mansion is decorated for the 18th century Christmas, and you can walk from room to room with guides in each area informing you of its purpose and significance while answering your questions.

THESE HOUSES WERE ALL WORKERS HOUSES FOR THE HIBERNIA FORGE. I WAS IN THE VERNON HOUSE YEARS AGO AND IT HAS A STONE FLOOR ON THE BOTTOM LEVEL, ITS REALY COOL

[@HarDHarr]

I have to say for me it's a tie between the Vernon house and the mansion. To me, they both have character and beauty. There is an old mansion that's here in Burlington, NJ, that is abandoned and sits right on the Delaware Riverbank. I was fortunate to explore it years ago; the mansion looks like something out of Gone with the Wind. It had weeping willows that outlined the pavement going up to the house and a carriage house and garden house along its sides. I was able to sneak inside the house and it was just breathtaking but unfortunately it was rotted and vandalized. But you can tell in its heyday, it was gorgeous. It had sweeping staircases, a bank vault and a fireplace in every single room, even the bathroom. There was even a small lighthouse attached to the one side of the house. Such a beautiful home and I wanted it so bad. I wish the city would restore it back to its former glory.

I shall vote for number 4. I think it could be fixed up to look quite cozy. I like the nice-sized front yard. I like to garden.

[@mattd2080]

The county has allowed all the structures to fall into disrepair over the years. Hopefully residents start putting more pressure on the commissioners to allocate funding to rehab them. The Hatfield mansion used to be open to host events similar to what they do at the nearby Springton Manor.

I have seen lots of houses and other building donated to goevernment entities for preservation. They seem to find money for everything but historic structures. Some years ago I visited Baylor University. They had a historical village. I was appalled at how well kept the rest of the school was, and how the village was rotting down!! A barn was in such bad shape it was roped off with yellow crime scene tape!

[@ruthgoebel723]

The Mansion is lovely; I think I like that one the best.

[@debbiehills2928]

❤idk really but I liked the Vernon house and the mansion at the end. I could also live in the one by the water too! I love the water and bird sounds!!!😊🎉❤❤❤

[@judimoyer2671]

I like the same one you did. It seemed very cozy and serene.

[@vixendoe6943]

The Vernon House (1), the 4th Cottage (2)

[@markjankowski4688]

My dream house would be number 4. It's not too big and I love the pond view

[@my2cents945]

I would bet someone lives in cottage #1, because of the sat dish on the roof.

[@charliepc56]

Knock, Knock! Are you home, Cliff??

[@703am]

cottage 4 gets my vote, I like the building and also I always wanted to live by a lake or pond.

[@michaeltesta3863]

#2 for me. Such a shame Chester County is letting them fall into a state of disrepair

[@Nancy-kw8xz]

Hello cliff I like the second house🏡 it just look more homey take care and love from upstate New York❤😊

[@sheilaedquist9552]

The E. V. House for me hands down.

[@squidgameisaliarisawnosqui5341]

I love them all great video ty Steve On......To....The....Next

[@suzanjournagan1112]

I will choose #4 by the pond. It would be very lovely. 🌷

[@franzgeil422]

I'll take number 4. Loads of potential and a view of the water.

[@tomtransport]

Hi Cliff, that first cottage you looked at sure seemed like someone was living there. The satellite dish antennas with lead in cable box next to electric meter. TV cable coming in the first front window. Looked like a clothes dryer vent near that lower window under meter too. Along with the decorations I think it is occupied. I didn't see a mailbox but maybe there was mail slot on the door.

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Loved all of them, I would live in any of them. If I move into mansion you can move in . Too big tho so no. 2 I love the porch. Thanks for the share. Please take care

[@lennomenno]

I’m with you Cliff. I’ll take the second house for the exact same reasons you would.

[@debluetailfly]

I pick the Edward Vernon house. I remember seeing that style in PA, MD, WV and Northern VA from my traveling days.

[@douglaslangella7782]

This reminds me of an episode of House Hunters. Edward Vernon house is you all the way.

[@jimflanagan6029]

I liked the stone house with the bad deck

[@lindamowday2492]

Hybernia mansion lots of childhood memories ❤

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

The 2nd house (I love stone houses), then cottage 4.

[@angelahemmig2043]

If I was picking a house for me and my husband I would pick the Vernon House. If my adult children and their families would join us I’d pick either the Hatfield house or the mansion.

[@andreascott5815]

I like cottage #2. It is small and quaint. I tried to imagine it with a porch on both front and back, and of course windows. It could be adorable. My second pick would be the mansion. But only if I was back in the day, and the lady of the house with enough staff that I wouldn’t have to spend all day cleaning. I would be outside in the gardens or riding.

[@nancymann5351]

Me too.

[@dayhikedave]

Number 4. Not too much house. Liked how it sat into the hill with a pond view👍

[@serendipitouslydivine824]

The first house, used as convalescence house sometime in the past - gives off haunted vibes to me.

[@sarahpruitt2360]

I like the stone work of the Edward Vernon house, the wide door ways of cottage 2. The Hatfield house is sizable and interesting, with it being a convalescent home I wonder if there are any ghosts lingering. The mansion has interesting architecture. The rounded sides and many windows are nice.

[@1corinthians-138]

Definitely the Vernon house, #2. Love the stone work on it and the location.

[@darlenegood4101]

I like the Hatfield home.

[@donnasilver940]

I like anything near water.

[@victorgoins6131]

I would definitely live in the last place. The mansion.

[@nickmad887]

Thanks

[@PAOutdoorsCouple]

Cottage #2. Needs a little TLC but is enough off the beaten path. Either that it the mansion and all its a joining grounds! Cheers

[@marlettemiltiadous5267]

Cottage Number 4. Lots of potential and great pond view and second the Vernon House. Its a shame they're neglected.

[@bcoldgoalie]

The Vernon house would appeal to me the most. Not too large or small...just right. 😊

[@raktoda707]

Vernon house...I like the location,light angle and land,and just enough to clean

[@mariaroshon949]

Great video! I’m definitely going to check out this park. My favorite house is the Edward Vernon house, although I do like cottage #4 because it’s so close to the pond. I love being near water!

[@MikeHunt2053]

My favorite campsite is up the road from the mansion. Hope you can stay the night one of these days, it’s only $15 per night.

[@jrwit55]

I'll take the Mansion. Awesome.

[@donnamusselman3191]

the Edward Vernon house is my favorite.I also liked cottage no. five

[@mandm6587]

The Edward Vernon house gets my vote, second place goes to house #5.

[@LumberjackPa]

The Edward Vernon House would be my choice. Although Cottage 4 has a pond.I think Cottage 1 was inhabited due to the satellite dish on the roof.

[@kateclark7250]

Interesting places. I like the Vernon House. It had lots of character.

[@waynebarnett7467]

Looks like the copper thieves swiped the bottom part of the downspouts on the Vernon house. It’s a shame people have to resort to that. My favorite is the Vernon house.

[@TrailsTailsHikesRails]

I'd take the mansion 😁

[@michaelinscoe7547]

I love historic buildings too. Mine was built in 1860..

[@donnabrooks3223]

I like 2 and 5

[@ChelseaSierraK.]

The 5th one.

[@christopherbrawley6945]

Im with you on the second house definitely would like to live there

[@christopherbrawley6945]

Edward house

[@mikearmstead8358]

Is the Macoys house far from the hat field house? Also my mom which I do believe her is that my mom side and my dad side is even now like the hat field and Macoys.

[@michaelinscoe7547]

Built around 1760..

[@lauraelizabeth9267]

Vernon house!

[@nancymann5351]

If I had money, I'd go with the mansion. Since I don't, I'll take the second house. I was wondering if they rent the cottages out or maybe park officers live in them. The Hatfield house, is it the famous Hatfield family of Hatfields and Mccoy fame? Loved this video. Id love to see them in person. ❤❤❤❤

[@1corinthians-138]

I was wondering if it was also.

[@jayforkner2692]

Devil Anse's line is from Virginia. Traced it back to George Hatfield Jr (1715-1795). Now George did have 2 sons. One son move to TN, and then his line ended up in OK. The other son line moved around in VA (Marion to Russell to Logan County) during the Civil War Logan County became part of WV.

[@michaelinscoe7547]

It's not in it's original location.

[@watchmansascha4764]

All nice houses but I have to say I'd choose none of them since I already have one far, far greater waiting for me: "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many *mansions:* if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, *I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."* (John 14:1-6 KJV) And you can have one too! Just believe the good news of Jesus Christ, that he died for your sins, was buried and resurrected on the third day! (1 Cor 15:1-4; Rom 1:16; Rom 3:20-26; Eph 2:8-9)
