Dale-Engle-Walker House 1471 Strawbridge Road • Lewisburg, PA 17837 570-524-8666 • www.UnionCountyHistoricalSociety.org Samuel Dale, a Scots-Irish immigrant who represented this region in the state legislature, erected the original 1793 limestone house. A stone addition was built in the 1840s; the large wooden porch was added 40 years later. The property’s history reflects how the region’s agricultural practices changed over time. The Dale family rented the farm to a series of tenants for over 80 years. The Engle family purchased the property in 1929 and operated a dairy there from 1936 until 1944. In 1957, Charles and Rosemary Walker bought the house and farm. Forty-four years later, the Union County Historical Society assumed ownership of the 137-acre property, much of which is still actively farmed. The Linn Conservancy maintains the adjacent Dale’s Ridge Hiking Trail. House tours focus on Central Pennsylvania history, agriculture, architecture, and slavery. Rotating exhibits feature artifacts and memorabilia from the Society’s See website for hours and tour times. collection as well as items on loan for display.

Packwood House Museum 15 North Water Street • Lewisburg, PA 17837 570-524-0323 • www.PackwoodHouseMuseum.com In 1972, Lewisburg native and Bucknell graduate, Edith Kelly Fetherston placed her house on Market Street in historic downtown Lewisburg and its extensive collection of antiques and art in a trust “for the educational benefit of all persons.” That house is now the Packwood House Museum. The earliest section of the building was erected in the late 1790s as a tavern along the Susquehanna River. Over the next 100 years, the building was expanded, becoming a hotel to serve canal, turnpike, and railroad traffic. In 1892, the hotel and carriage house behind it (now the Tour Center on Water Street) were converted into seven rental units. In 1936, Edith Fetherston and her husband John returned to Lewisburg. They renovated the building and converted it into a house furnished with her vast and eclectic collections of 18th-20th century furniture, textiles, decorative arts, Oriental art, and Pennsylvania crafts. Visitors today see the house much as Edith and John left it.

Joseph Priestley House is a National Historic Chemical Landmark and state museum where visitors can investigate the contributions to American history of Joseph Priestley (1733-1804). Most notably remembered today for his discovery of oxygen and other gases, Priestley’s scientific contributions also include the development of the modern timeline, the carbonation process, early experiments in electricity, and the role of sunlight in photosynthesis. Priestley was also a noted theologian, political progressive, and prolific author who counted Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams among his friends. Yet Priestley was also a controversial figure who was forced to flee England because of his liberal views. Priestley spent the last 10 years of his life in Northumberland, PA, where he continued his work in science, religion, and education. Today, The Friends of Joseph Priestley House open the museum to the public on weekend afternoons from mid-March through November with tours at 1, 2, and 3 PM or by appointment. Special events are held throughout the year with costumed tour guides and chemistry demonstrations performed by Joseph Priestley portrayed by a local reenactor.

In the ensuing years, the building became the local high school, a barn for the Weirick family, a buggy repository for the Gutelius Carriage Company, and a double house. Restoration of the church began in 2005 under the direction of Mifflinburg Heritage & Revitalization Association. The building has been carefully returned to its original state featuring a wine glass pulpit, arched Leigender Stuhl trusses,original plank flooring, curved ceiling, and three-sided gallery.
