About Peterstown House

Peterstown House built in the mid-1800s for a prominent farmer, it stands true to its roots - aesthetically and historically. In 1972, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It has not only withstood centuries of neglect, but is still managing to retain much of its original look. While no longer a private residence, Peterstown House has become a museum open to the public so people can take in the unique experience mixed with fascinating history that it offers.
