Wallace House & Old Dutch Parsonage State Historic Sites
State park
👍👍 I didn't get to enter the house, but they had a re-enactment and life story accounting of Phillis Wheatley which was pretty good. If history was taught like this, it would have caught my attention more in school. Parking lot is limited but street parking shouldn't be a problem.
