Swetland Homestead, Historic house museum in Wyoming, Pennsylvania, United States.
The Swetland Homestead spans 54 feet by 88 feet with an L-shaped frame structure and features a four-columned portico added in 1850.
Built in 1797 and expanded between 1803 and 1813, the Swetland Homestead remained in the family until 1958 when it was donated to the Luzerne County Historical Society.
The period rooms within the homestead display the evolution from agrarian to industrial society through furnishings and objects from 1790s to 1860s.
Tours of the homestead require advance appointments through the Luzerne County Historical Society, with parking available along Colonial Lane but not on Swetland Lane.
This 1.5-acre property contains one of the oldest surviving houses in the Wyoming Valley, representing architectural developments across multiple generations.
