Some days, Lansdale Historical Society President Dick Shearer hates to pull up to Jenkins Homestead because he never knows what he will find. He knows it will never be something radical or drastic — just a little more of the same. For instance, take the metal pole sticking out of an elaborate and decorative white casting along the entrance to the homestead from the Jenkins Avenue sidewalk. It isn't as much a broken hitching post as it is an irreplaceable piece of Lansdale's history. The same can be said of the cedar shakes that adorn the roof of the Jenkins Homestead spring house. The slate steps between the research center and Jenkins house could become victims to skateboard tricks; a plywood ramp was recently confiscated by volunteers …
