Highland Township is the Route 10 farm country between Parkesburg and Cochranville. Buggies share the road, and the fields run to the Lancaster County line. It is Octorara school district territory, quiet and spread out. LiteMovers has moved Highland families since 2007 and drives these roads the way the neighbors expect: slowly, with room for the horses.
Moving Among the Farms
- ✓Buggy traffic: Route 10 and the farm roads carry horse-drawn traffic, heaviest early morning and Sunday
- ✓Amish-built furniture: solid oak and cherry pieces that are heavy, oversized, and worth protecting
- ✓Long straight lanes: gravel drives with cattle gates and barns that take a full truck when the gate is wide
- ✓Lancaster County line: Gap, Christiana, and Quarryville moves on one crew
Addresses read Coatesville (19320), Parkesburg (19365), or Cochranville (19330). For the Route 41 crossroads to the south, see West Fallowfield. For the borough to the north, see Parkesburg movers.
Sharing the Road
Highland’s roads are shared with horse-drawn buggies, farm wagons, and the occasional cattle crossing. Our crews leave room, pass only on straight stretches, and never idle a truck beside a hitched horse. For addresses near a meetinghouse we avoid Sunday mornings. It is slower than a suburban move, and we plan the day for it.
Solid-Wood Furniture
Many Highland homes are furnished with Amish-built oak and cherry: dining sets, bedroom suites, hutches, and rolltop desks. These pieces are heavier than factory furniture and often too wide for a standard doorway. We measure on the estimate, remove doors when needed, wrap every surface, and carry with straps. Our Chester County packing team crates the glass fronts.

Lanes, Gates, and Barns
Highland’s lanes are long but mostly straight, with gravel, a cattle gate, and a barn at the end. We scout on the estimate, confirm the gate width, and bring a shorter truck when the lane turns at the barn. Outbuildings are inventoried with the house, and fuel is drained from mowers and tractors before loading.
Octorara Schools and the County Line
Highland is in the Octorara Area School District, which straddles the Lancaster County line. Summer is busiest, but Octorara dates are among the easiest in the county to book. Moves to Gap, Christiana, and Quarryville are local jobs on one crew. See Lancaster movers for the city and beyond. Chester County storage covers the gap when a farm sale closes before the new house is ready.

Highland Township Moving Questions
Where is Highland Township?
Along Route 10 between Parkesburg and Cochranville, in the rolling farm country of southwestern Chester County. Mail reads Coatesville (19320), Parkesburg (19365), or Cochranville (19330). It is Octorara school district territory, with Amish farms on both sides of the road.
How do you drive moving trucks around horse-and-buggy traffic?
Slowly and with room. Route 10 and the farm roads carry buggies, especially early morning and Sunday. Our crews leave space, pass only on straight stretches, and never idle the truck near a hitched horse. We also schedule around church Sundays for addresses near the meetinghouses.
Which school district is Highland in?
Octorara Area School District, which also covers Parkesburg, Atglen, and West Fallowfield. Families plan moves for summer. Octorara dates are among the easiest in the county to book, so a week or two of notice usually works outside of July and August.
Do you move Amish-built furniture?
Yes, and we treat it as the solid-wood investment it is. Dining sets, bedroom suites, and hutches from the Lancaster County shops are heavy and often oversized. We wrap each piece, remove doors when needed, and use shoulder straps for the pieces that cannot be dollied. Nothing is dragged.
Can a full-size truck reach Highland farmhouses?
Usually. Highland’s lanes are long but mostly straight, with gravel and the occasional cattle gate. We scout on the estimate, confirm the gate width, and bring a shorter truck when the lane turns at the barn. Fuel is drained from equipment before loading.
Do you move between Highland and Lancaster County?
Yes, routinely. Gap, Christiana, and Quarryville are minutes away, and the Octorara district straddles the county line. Those are local moves on one crew with no transfer. For Lancaster city and beyond, see our Lancaster movers page.
