Troxell-Steckel House, Colonial house in Egypt, Pennsylvania.

The Troxell-Steckel House stands as a fieldstone dwelling measuring 48 feet long and 35 feet wide, featuring a high-pitched gable roof and Pennsylvania-German architectural elements.

Johannes Peter Troxell constructed this residence in 1756, and the property remained a private dwelling until its donation to the Lehigh County Historical Society in 1942.

The museum exhibits display agricultural tools, domestic items, and furnishings that represent the daily life of Pennsylvania German settlers in the eighteenth century.

Located at 4229 Reliance Street in Egypt, Pennsylvania, the property includes parking facilities and operates as both a historical site and farm museum.

The property contains an original stone spring house and a nineteenth-century barn, maintaining the complete layout of an early American farmstead.
