Joseph F. and Anna B. Schrot Farm

The Joseph F. and Anna B. Schrot Farm is a 17-acre (6.9 ha) subsistence farm located at 880 Carbon Mine Road in Lawrence Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. The farm was established in 1889 by Joseph F. and Anna B. Schrot, a stonemason and his wife who immigrated to Clearfield County from Austria in 1883. Stone quarries at nearby Curwensville had created a local demand for masons, and Joseph Schrot was one of many Europeans who came to Clearfield County to take construction work. The Schrots' farm provided food for the couple and their family of fourteen children; the couple sold their excess food for additional income.
