A Great Historic Home in Pennsylvania!

Joseph Priestly, the well known scientist, theologian, and political thinker, fled to America from England; his house was burned to the ground by a mob over some of his more controversial views. His new home, designed by his wife Mary, still stands today in Northumberland County, and attracts visitors from all over the state and surrounding areas to walk through its recently re-renovated interior. Along with the usual architect lovers and history buffs, the house is also frequented by members of the American Chemistry Society: Priestly discovered oxygen.
