The property was part of tracts of land PA founder, William Penn, granted to John Sharpless in 1682. In 1797, it passed into the hands of the Darlington family. During the 125 years the Darlington’s owned the farmstead they operated a dairy farm on the site. George Wood of the Wood family that founded the Wawa Dairy bought the farm in 1922. The new farmhouse built in 1979 sits on the exact site where the original farmhouse sat, stone salvaged from the older house was used in the building. When built care was given to preserve its authentic historic look starting with the cut nails in the hardwood flooring, thick stone walls, double staircase, four fireplaces. In 1984 David Bosacco bought the property. He loved to race powerboats. He named the farm “Roosertail Farm” coming from the term for the plume of water a racing boat leaves in its wake. The property was recently subdivided from 15 acres to 10.1 acres. Approved by Middletown Township being reviewed and recorded by Del Cty. When recorded taxes will be reduced .
