The Speaker's House, Historic residence and museum in Trappe, Pennsylvania.
The Speaker's House stands as a two-story structure with traditional architectural elements, featuring period-appropriate furnishings and exhibits about early American government.
Frederick Muhlenberg, the first Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, purchased this 1763-built residence in 1781 for 800 pounds.
The residence served as both a general store and an unofficial government center during Muhlenberg's tenure, reflecting early American political administration.
Visitors can explore the preserved rooms and exhibits during scheduled tours on the second and fourth weekends of each month.
Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered numerous artifacts from the 18th century, including remnants from Muhlenberg's general store operations.
