The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The Lord House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

On September 12, 2014, outside the Troop R barracks of the Pennsylvania State Police in the township, a sniper opened fire on Pennsylvania State Police troopers with a .308-caliber rifle during a late-night shift change, killing Corporal Bryon K. Dickson II, 38, and critically injuring trooper Alex Douglass. Eric Matthew Frein was identified as the sole suspect of the ambush and was sought by federal and state authorities for the ambush, until his apprehension at 6 p.m. on Thursday, October 30, ending a seven-week search.
