‪We went because we love touring historic homes and this one is well preserved. We are not scientists so we learned quite a bit about the man many call the father of modern chemistry although our volunteer guide, a retired HS Chemistry teacher, objected to that characterization. The tour makes it easy to understand the basic story of Priestley’s life and balances his experience as not only a scientist but also as a minister who founded the Unitarian movement in the US and a political theorist- the latter two being what ran him out of the UK in the face of an angry mob. Priestly House is a small operation run by dedicated volunteers so they have limited hours and were a bit disorganized on our arrival (the volunteer guides were late for the day). We were also a little put off at first when the greeter in the visitor center made us feel like we didn’t belong because our answer to why we were visiting wasn’t centered on science or Dr. Priestly. The volunteer team lives Priestly and loves what they do so expect your tour to be thorough (which to some will feel slow). The cost is minimal and the benefit is high. It’s a beautiful rural drive to get there and we’ll worth a day trip.‬

‪This is a truly unique site for history buffs. The remaining home of one of the most prominent scientists and dissenters of the 1700's. The site is well maintained and very knowledgeable guides provide a tour. Since there are not many visitors, you can explore and ask questions. Out of the way, but worthwhile.‬

‪We visited on Oxygen Day and there were a variety of activities. What a wonderful experience! The gentleman who plays the role of Joseph Priestley is marvelous at bringing the character to life and engaging the audience. He performs interrsting experiments and makes the whole presentation fun! Docents in the Priestley home were great too and answered our questions fully.‬

‪We were informed and guided by two excellent volunteer docents, who could answer about any question regarding this very important figure in early American history - who influenced such leaders as Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin‬

‪We visited this 1798 Georgian clapboard house designed by the wife of the Unitarian theologian/scientific discoverer of oxygen. Even though the 5000 sq ft house was closed due to Covid, the 1 acre grounds were open. They overlook the Susquehanna River(now with a railroad) and have the largest maple tree that I have ever seen.‬

‪Wonderful look back in time. Docent was helpful in answering questions. Self guided tour allowed for a pace we wanted to go. Good visit.‬

‪We stopped here on our way to Knoebels Amusement Part. It’s about half an hour drive from Knoebels. We lucked out as they were having Oxygen Day when we were scheduled to visit. Dr. Priestley (played by a retired H.S. Chemistry teacher) was scheduled to give a talk and perform several chemical experiments. Since my 16 year old granddaughter will be taking chemistry this year, I thought it would be nice to visit “the Father of Chemistry’s” home. When we arrived at one p.m. , we were able to tour his substantial home where he lived for the last ten years of his life. The first room used in the home was his lab. Priestly is credited with discovering Oxygen and carbon monoxide but there is much more to his history which includes being a clergyman, writing a text on electricity and being a contemporary of Ben Franklin and many others whom he maintained contact. Our visit only lasted for a little over an hour but we came away with so much information, as well as a “gold” penny that Dr. Priestley made through a little alchemy (which we now know is impossible...the penny’s gold like finish is easily removed when handled.). As usual, I wished we had more time to visit. ‬

‪This was a visit on Charter Sunday. Amazing home of a brilliant man. Historically was what I love to do and see. Who knew he discovered-named carbon monoxide. The demonstration was so enlightening by former chemistry teacher. Speaking in 3rd person as Mr Priestley
Will definitely return for another tour.
I think most would be surprised why he came to America
the work put into this home for the era is period correct.

‪Joseph Priestly's 18h century house is superbly kept with lively costumed docents in several rooms relating interesting history and details of the man and his family as well as of 18th dentury life in America. A trio played period music in the parlor. Joseph Priestly discovered oxygen....Mr Blatchley as Priestly recreates the chemical experiment showing the presence of oxygen as well as other experiments showing the presence of several other gasses. As a former chemistry teacher Mr. Blatchley was quite knowledgeable and deftly performed the experiments while engaging the audience, including children, & imparting scientific knowledge and details about Priestly's life as a theologian, educator. and philosopher who knew and corresponded with Geroge Washington, Thomas Jefferson, &.John Adams.( Priestly considered Ben Franklin his mentor.) Blatchley kept the information flowing throughout the experiments with questions, humor and some jokes. Thoroughly enjoyable for all ages...even providing a small gift for children in the audience at the conclusion of this presentation..‬
