Our Story & History
At Steph 'n Sara's Naturals and The Dr. Gross History House, our passion and mission is about preserving family history and entwining that with a more natural and modern-day lifestyle, reflective of an earlier and simpler time.
In that light, we are thrilled to have brought back into our family, Stephanie's great grandparents' home (a forever thanks to Mr. Joe Mazzeo, who so kindly offered to part with it!) In honor of them, we have named this "The Dr. Reuben and Sarah Gross Family History House." This treasured home has served seven generations of Dr. Gross's extended family; from the 1800's and is still making memories today!
Within our home's museum, visitors will find authentic heirlooms; some dating back to the late 1700's, and will get a glimpse of what life was like in Elizabethtown.
Along with our Steph 'n Sara's shoppe, we offer relaxed, self-guided tours every Thursday, second Fridays, and second Saturdays....and guided tours every day of the week by scheduled appointment.* We also welcome student groups who are looking to add an engaging and educational element to their curriculum.
Visitors will experience historical highlights such as: Dr. Gross's original office and practice, the family parlor, kitchen, Sara's room, and more....view authentic furnishings and the family's heirlooms, quilt and glassware collection.
