Penfield Homestead Museum

Penfield Homestead Museum is not just a homestead but a group of 19th century buildings and extensive grounds. You will see the home built by Allen Penfield, farm yard barns, a church and parsonage built in the 1840s. Our latest historic addition is the Pioneer Forge at Penfield. Early 19th century iron ore processing will be highlighted at this replica trip hammer and forge.

Historic Walk

If you want to stretch your legs, take a walk on our Historic Walking Tour on the banks of Penfield Pond and Putnam Creek. This short stroll feature signs and a brochure that highlight the Crown Point Iron Company manufacturing complex. If a hike is more to your liking then use one of the Champlain Area Trails. The Penfield or Old Ironville Rd Trail will certainly get your blood pumping.
