Montgomery Village

The Kettler brother (Clarence, Milton, and Charles) built Montgomery Village after Clarence had the idea of building a special town.

In 1962, they bought The Walker Farm, Thomas Farm, The Brothers Mills, The French Farm, The Fulks Farm, The Patton Farm, The Wilson Farm, and The James Walter Deppa property. The Walker Farm was the largest of all the properties the Kettlers bought. It was 412 acres and now is Walkers Choice, Cider Mill, Horizon Run, Christopher Court, Dockside, Nathan’s Hill, Millrace, the library, the day care center, Montgomery Village Plaza, Breckenridge, the Verandahs, Grover’s Forge, Lake Whetstone, South Valley Park and part of Lakeforest Mall (courtesy of The Montgomery Village website).
