Save the Bush House Estate
We need to do what we can to find a way to save this landmark from destruction. The inside is filled with beauty and has many memories for people hosted weddings and events.
Post from the former owner:
Since there has not been anyone to pass the baton to, I will write this post as the previous owner. We sold the property to FAMVEST with the understanding that it would only be enhanced and the mansion would not be under any threat of demolition. The sale happened quickly as interest rates were on the rise. Now FAMVEST has plans on demolishing everything...both cottages, the barns, the oak trees and maybe the mansion. We feel duped. Shame on everyone who has approved this destruction. I'm talking to you commissioners, Joe Hamm, Gene Yaw, etc. Charlie and I just learned about this yesterday and were blindsided! We need our government officials to hear us and save this landmark. Joe Hamm and Gene Yaw!

Why is this important?
This is an historical landmark for Lycoming County. Money poured in to restore it. Families celebrated wedding and other events. It needs to be saved!
