Ananias Pitsenbarger Farm is an historic home and farm complex located in the unincorporated community of Dahmer, near Franklin, Pendleton County, West Virginia. [2] The original section of the house was built in 1845, and includes the 2+12-story section on the north end, with a later 1+12-story addition built about 1900. The house rests on a foundation of coursed rubble stone and is clad in weatherboard siding. It has a standing-seam metal gable roof. Also on the property are 15 log and frame contributing outbuildings. They include the cellar house, two hog pens, a stable, woodworking shop, carriage house, chicken coop, granary (photo 10), shed, privy constructed by the Works Progress Administration, spring house, three small hay barns, and a large double-crib log hay barn. Also on the property is the Pitsenbarger Cemetery. [2] [3]

The Farm is known to have had the nickname "Loafer's Glory." This was likely due to the Pitsenbarger's reputation for being hospitable, the farm's location on a trail connecting two waterways and leading toward Harrisonburg, VA, plus the hard cider and apple brandy they produced. [4] [5] The current property owners operate Loafer's Glory Log Cabin Resort & Event Venue as well as Dry Run Spirits, a distillery, on the premises. [5]

The Ananias Pitsenbarger Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. [1]
