The most wonderful feedback is that everyone that attended indicated that they would like to attend again!
The Castle at River Ridge Farm is located in Franklin, PA. It sits high above the roaring hills that are nestled alongside the Allegheny River. The castle was built in 1913 by Joseph C. Sibley, co-owner of Galena-Signal Oil Company, five-term congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives as well as a Presidential candidate. The estate was visited by Presidents and men of great renown. After the death of Mr. and Mrs. Sibley the castle was used as a monastery and Christian School. Today the castle is highly sought after as a retreat center.
