Rachel Carson Homestead
Rachel Carson Homestead, Birth house in Springdale, United States
The Rachel Carson Homestead stands as a four-room farmhouse with original features maintained within its walls, situated eighteen miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
The Carson family settled in this farmhouse in 1901, where Rachel Carson was born in 1907 and lived until completing her studies in 1929.
The homestead serves as an educational center dedicated to environmental awareness through programs, exhibits, and interpretive tours focused on Carson's scientific contributions.
Visitors can participate in scheduled guided tours of the property, which includes access to the original house structure and the preserved springhouse.
The property maintains a small hiking trail connecting to municipal land, allowing visitors to experience the natural environment that influenced Carson's early life.
