About this property

The Quiet Valley Farm is an historic working farm in Hamilton Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is operated as an open-air museum. Open seasonally, costumed interpreters operate the farm and explain family life from the 1760s to 1913. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The farm is a national historic district located in Hamilton Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, United States.

It remained in the Zepper family until 1958, and is now operated as a nineteenth-century, living history farm known as the Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm. Contributing buildings are the main house (c. 1765), the springhouse (c. 1765), a bank barn (1850), the frame wash house, a fruit drying house, a smoke house, an ice house, a storage shed, and a wagon shed.
