The Swetland Homestead contains the original cabin built on this site in 1803. The additions made to it as the Swetland family grew and prospered have transformed the structure into the elegant home one sees today. Period rooms, spanning the 70 years from the summer kitchen to the Victorian parlor of the 1860s, illustrate changes in living spaces and household objects as America and the Wyoming Valley passed from an agrarian economy to an industrialized society. The homestead, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is open year-round.
