The Conrad Weiser Homestead in Womelsdorf will reportedly be closed this year, though the grounds surrounding it will be open to visitors, according to a report at readingeagle.com.

The decision was made by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission Wednesday morning. The homestead was one of six sites considered for closure or change of operations in light of a tightening budget.

The Brandywine Battlefield was on the short list as well.

The Friends of Conrad Weiser Homestead are working with the museum commission to keep the buildings open and programs running. Other sites are undergoing similar talks with their nonprofit support groups to see if funding and management can be maintained with outside help for all six sites.

In the case of Brandywine Battlefield, the museum commission has recommended a management agreement with the Bushy Run Battlefield Heritage Society for 10 years. The society and commission are currently hammering out the agreement.

According to the commission's executive summaries on the six sites, released Wednesday and made available on their Web site, one full-time commission position will remain at the Brandywine Battlefield, with that employee in charge of security and site maintanance.
