Built in 1755-56 by John Peter Troxell and now owned by the Lehigh County Historical Society, this colonial stone farmhouse is an excellent example of German medieval style architecture brought to eastern Pennsylvania by German settlers. The adjacent barn contains an exhibit of farm implements.
The area on the north side of Reliance Street is suited to passive recreation activities such as picnicking and fishing. Coplay Creek is stocked with trout from the Cedarbrook hatchery.
