Cradle Valley Farm dates back to 1702 when the property was conveyed by William Penn, and then acquired by Henry Paxson. The first fieldstone structures were built in 1730 with most of the stone coming from the fields and quarry that are still part of the farm. It is now on the National Register of Historic Places in the Aquetong Valley Historic District and preserved along with 1,200 contiguous acres by conservation easements. Though much of the land is still actively farmed, the stone barn was transformed in the 1990’s by a recording engineer into a music studio with near perfect acoustics. Since then, it has often served as a venue for recordings and performances by the Concordia Chamber Players. The warmth of the old woodwork and natural acoustics create a sound and visual experience rarely found in traditional studios.
