Lin-Manuel Miranda Helps Keep Bucks County Site Alive

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, since at least 2017, efforts have been underway to purchase Highland Farm and turn it into the Oscar Hammerstein Museum and Theatre Education Center.

Oscar Greeley Clendenning Hammerstein II was born on July 12, 1895 in New York City. Much as his achievements in theater took place behind the curtain, Oscar’s humanitarian work was as humble as it was extraordinary.

In his home of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Oscar worked with Pearl S. Buck to support her humanitarian efforts. He co-founded her Welcome House, which matched more than 7,000 orphans and children from around the globe with adoptive families in the United States.

Oscar and his family lived in the historic Doylestown area home for 20 years while writing his “big five” — Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King & I and The Sound of Music.

The Hammerstein Museum website lists the plan to keep the site running.

Amidst the efforts, Lin-Manuel Miranda who is the brains behind Broadway’s hit musical Hamilton, offered a major gift from his family fund.

The amount has not been disclosed but its enough to obviously become a headline.

Highland Farm, on East Road in the Bucks County township was purchased by Hammerstein in 1941 for $23,000. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

It’s currently a working bed and breakfast. The hope is to turn the 1840 house, barn, and surrounding 4.9 acres into a museum and theater education center.
