Hayhurst Farm

Hayhurst Farm is a colonial-era farmhouse located on an approximately 85-acre property in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The structure displays traditional 1700s construction techniques typical of rural Pennsylvania farms of that period.

The farmhouse was built in 1742 by John Hayhurst, a Quaker minister connected to Wrightstown Friends Meeting. In December 1776, General John Sullivan used the property as a location of strategic importance during military operations leading to the Delaware crossing.

The name derives from the Hayhurst family who settled here. The building reflects how colonial farmers in Pennsylvania constructed their homes with local materials and practical design suited to rural life.

The property is privately owned and accessible by arrangement with the owners. The location is rural, so having transportation is necessary to visit the site.

The farmhouse retains several original architectural elements from its original construction and represents a rare surviving example of colonial building techniques still visible today. Many visitors overlook the subtle details of the stone walls and window construction that reveal how builders worked in this period.
