Morton Homestead, National Register historic building in Prospect Park, Pennsylvania
The Morton Homestead features rustic architecture elements from 1698 and sits along Darby Creek, displaying traditional construction methods of early American settlements.
Morton Mortenson, a Finnish immigrant, established this homestead in 1654 when the area belonged to the New Sweden colony along the Delaware River.
The property represents early American rural life through its architectural design and connection to John Morton, who signed the Declaration of Independence.
