YORK COUNTY, Pa. - "We're still here, and we're watching."
American Indian groups couldn't stop the auction Thursday of land that includes important archaeological sites related to the Susquehannock tribe. But the presence of about 20 Indians, some with homemade signs, sent a clear message to any potential buyers who might have plans to develop the parcel.
In the end, the 26-acre Leibhart property at 534 Boat House Road in York County's Lower Windsor Township was sold Thursday to a Dover couple, Teresa and Donald Grove, for $1.51 million.
The property, just across the Susquehanna River from Lancaster County, includes a historic three-story farmhouse and three dozen lots that are rented for riverside recreation, bringing in about $37,000 per year, according to auctioneer Bradley K. Smith.
