According  to local historian Janie Payne, the farm was originally owned by Nathan Warthen.  The dwelling house 
has a log section that was torn off in the early 1900s.  A frame addition was built at that time.1 
 
The farm was later operated for several generations by the Day family.  Into the 1970s the farm was dairy 
operation featuring prize‐winning cows.   In 1975, the farm, known as Tri‐Day Farm, had the second highest selling 
animal in the Sire Power Sale hled in Kutztown, Pennsylvania.2  
 
In 1989, the property was acquired by the Kehnemui family of Chevy Chase.
