The William Brinton 1704 House and Historic Site
The William Brinton 1704 House is a restored historic Quaker home which is owned, maintained, and operated as a museum by the Brinton Association of America. Located just off of U.S. Route 202, south of West Chester, Pennsylvania, this stone house was built and originally occupied in 1704, by William Brinton, Jr. (1670-1751), son of an English immigrant. The home is situated on part of a 450-acre land grant from William Penn and resembles medieval English architectural style. It is furnished authentically and boasts many interesting features, such as leaded casement windows, an indoor bake oven, and a colonial herb garden. The William Brinton 1704 House and Historic Site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1968. Tours are available to the public daily, May through October.
