Amidst
the
growing
sprawl
of
the
21st
century,
a
few
suburban
pockets
still
manage
to
retain
much
of
their
18th
century
charm.
One
of
those
is
located
on
Johnny's
Way
in
Westtown.
It
is
named
Twin
Oaks
for
the
eleven
pairs
of
matched
mature
oak
trees
that
line
its
inviting
driveway.
It
is
what
remains
of
a
much
larger
farm
first
settled
in
1772.
A
gurgling
stream
flows
from
beneath
and
ancient
stone
springhouse
and
forms
a
quiet
pond
stocked
with
carp,
bass
and
smaller
fish.
A
mixture
of
trees,
shrubs,
perennials
and
annuals
create
a
constantly
changing
kaleidoscope
of
color
throughout
the
year.
Meanwhile
a
variety
of
wildlife-deer,
fox,
rabbits,
squirrels,
groundhogs,
raccoons,
possums,
turtles
and
other
native
animals-frolic
in
the
surrounding
woods
where
a
vast
variety
of
birds
make
their
home
and
fill
the
air
with
lifting
songs.
Geese,
ducks,
egrets,
heron
and
other
water
birds
are
frequent
visitors
to
the
pond.
The stone barn still stands proudly, although it has been reduced in size and no longer houses dairy cattle that once supplied milk and cream to early Chester County settlers. During the mid 20th century, the renovated stone farmhouse was home to the author of a famous radio network series, "Henry Aldrich," whose many humorous exploits took place in nearby West Chester.
