Burnside Plantation

This historic farm-in-the-city opens doors to early American agricultural life. The property includes a restored 1748/1818 farmhouse, two 1840s bank barns, a high horse-power wheel, large kitchen garden and orchard, a corn crib and wagon shed. James Burnside, Northampton County’s first elected representative to the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly in Philadelphia, established the farm in 1748. Eventually, the property became part of the Moravians’ agricultural system in Bethlehem and Nazareth, Bethlehem’s sister community nine miles to the north.
