The Joseph Priestley House is a historic site located in Northumberland, Pennsylvania. It was the home of Joseph Priestley, a renowned scientist and theologian who is credited with discovering oxygen. The house was built in 1794 and served as Priestley's residence until his death in 1804.

The house is a two-story stone building with a steeply pitched roof and a central entrance. It has been restored to its original appearance, with period furnishings and decorations. Visitors can tour the house and learn about Priestley's life and work.

The site also includes a laboratory, where Priestley conducted his experiments and made many of his discoveries. The laboratory has been recreated to look as it did in the late 18th century, complete with equipment and materials similar to those used by Priestley.

In addition to the house and laboratory, the site features a museum that showcases Priestley's scientific and religious contributions. The museum includes exhibits on his experiments with gases, his work as a theologian, and his role in the founding of the Unitarian Church in America.

The Joseph Priestley House is a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of one of history's most influential scientists and thinkers. It is open to the public for tours and educational programs.
