Our Mission Statement
Family:

We respect each individual as a member of our global community, as created in the image and likeness of God, and we will not tolerate discrimination against any one person.

No public funds, no state grants or federal monies, or donations were accepted or used for the total purchase, move, and restoration of The Star Barn Village and all the historic structures at Stone Gables Estate. One hundred percent (100%) was paid for by David Abel in his efforts to preserve the beloved architectural structures in Pennsylvania.
We believe that all people have the free will right to have a set of beliefs that they have faith in and to live them out without forcing others to participate in those belief events that are in direct opposition to the core faith belief tenets of the other. Our nation's founding fathers knew that there would be differences in faith beliefs, so they wrote into the Constitution of the United States the First Amendment which fully protects the free exercise of one's faith beliefs without imposing that on another. We are a nation founded on religious freedom, not freedom from religion. We are one nation under God, not over God. We pray that here in Lancaster County, in the state of Pennsylvania, we can be a model for the country and the world, welcoming all without discrimination, and respecting the differences in each person's beliefs and the way they live them out. Supporting each other's businesses in Lancaster County, and the state of Pennsylvania, without discrimination, is a model the world needs.
We believe that all the world's 7.7 billion human beings were created in the image and likeness of God and we will not tolerate discrimination nor have we allowed it against any one person. We do not label people with titles or letters because all people are welcome to our public events, to work at our businesses, and stay at our lodging accommodations. In 43 years of business, with over 600 associates, we have never discriminated against anyone.
