Burnside Plantation, Historical farm museum in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
The 6.5-acre Burnside Plantation features a farmhouse from 1748, two bank barns from 1840, a kitchen garden, an orchard, and agricultural buildings.
James Burnside established the plantation in 1748 after purchasing 500 acres of land, later selling 200 acres to Moravians who influenced the region's development.
The plantation holds the Blueberry Festival and Apple Days celebrations, connecting visitors with Pennsylvania's agricultural traditions through demonstrations and activities.
The museum operates regular guided tours of the farmhouse, barns, and gardens, allowing visitors to experience early American farming methods and daily routines.
The site maintains one of the few operational High Horse-Power wheels in the United States, demonstrating historical farming techniques through mechanical innovation.
