Where in the World is Milan in Pa.?

Things To Do In Milan, Pennsylvania
 
 First, after you're done asking, "Where in the world is Milan, PA, and why in the world would I want to go there to begin with?" you can learn how to pronounce the name. It's not, "Mee-YAHN," as is the proper way to pronounce that big city in Italy that first comes to mind as "must-see" place to visit. Pennsylvania's bucolic (that means countryside-charming) little town is pronounced, "MY-lin," and may surprise you in many more ways than just how to pronounce it.
 
 Milan is located in the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania in Bradford County. Milan is 2 miles south of the New York boarder on a main road Rt. 220. We have purchased 5 farms and woodlots around this town. We are in the process of planting trees for our retail nursery operations. This area has great hunting. Have you ever wanted to go looking for artifacts? Our farm allows you to hunt for arrowheads! We charge for this service, but where else are you allowed to go and search. We have 3 farms located near the confluence of the Susquehanna and the Chemung Rivers in Bradford County Pa.. These farms are at the southern most part of what is now Athens Township. The river flats on our farms is what was once part of an Indian village known as Queen Esthers Town. This town was along the west bank of the of the river just south of the confluence. It extended for miles south along the river. As much as 5 miles of flats were inhabited. There are estimates of 70 houses being occupied in this vicinity. There is a historic marker along Rt. 220 which is on our property. It describes Queen Esthers Town. This area was also the site of the South Door of Iroquoise Long House which was located near the confluence of the two rivers. The Indian settlement was destroyed on Sept. 27,1778 by Col. Thomas Hartley.
 Here's MY FAVORITE SPOT near Milan. Located on Rte. 220 to the south of the town is Milan Hirst Nursery and Treasures. This nursery sells a full line of nursery stock and also has a consignment shop to sell your unwanted items.

The nursery stock is from fields on this farm, over 1000 acres in the Milan area and from the Doylestown farm known as Highland Hill Farm or Highlandhillfarm.com . The seedling and liner operations and web site for these farms is Seedlingsrus.com You can buy plants and shrubs from seedlings to large caliper trees at this location. We have a pig hotel across the street from the nursery.Yes, when you are in Milan you must visit the only pig hotel in the world. Our pigs are pampered. Each has its own room complete with chandeliers and exquisite paintings. We spare nothing for our pigs. We believe the best pork comes from happy and content piggies. So you must stop in to Milan Hirst Nursery and Treasures and ask Keith to show you our happy piggies. You may be able to be one of the select few who can purchase one of our piggies.
