cradle, and the bed is
covered with a coverlet
“mate in Manheim” in 1858.
Reist explained that
coverlets were often woven
by itinerant weavers who
wove the coverlets simply
for a place to eat and a roof
over their heads. They
carried their looms on a one
horse wagon.
In daughter Christine’s
room a lovely “sunburst”
quilt covers her bed. The
quilt was made by Mrs.
Reist’s grandmother. All the
quilts are in excellent con
dition.
But the house is not the
only interest at the Heists’
and visitors will want to
venture to the outbuildings
where some interesting farm
equipment will be on display.

Walking around Reist’s two
story barn is like taking a
walk through, Lancaster’s
agricultural history.
Along the way one learns
about Conestoga wagon,
weaving, early methods of
cultivation as well as some
local yore. For instance,
Reist related that not many
people realize that Milton
Hershey went bankrupt
twice before becoming rich.
He told the story as he
showed a hand made milk
cooler which was used to cool
milk that went to a dairy
owned by Hershey on south
Queen Street.
About his wide variety of
farm tools, Reist says, “I
don’t refinish them, I just
clean them up and leave
them natural.”

He said he determines the
age of some of his items by
reading. “I’ve done a lot of
reading, and that’s one
reason why I’ve written my
books. You don’t learn it all
in a few years. I’m in
terested in history, in
dustrial arts and history, and
it all goes together.” In

grade history at Conestoga
Valley and is a member of
the Board of the Landis
Valley Farm Museum.
Heist also noted that it’s
often difficult to know the
origin of antiques, and
warned, “There are some
wonderful fakes. Even so-
