Two early homesteads, dating to the 18th century, provide a sense of the regional heritage through interpretative tours. Nathan Denison House is restored and furnished to the period 1790-1820 and offers visitors a view of early life in the Wyoming Valley. The Swetland Home- stead began as a settlers cottage and through the ° years additions and improvements were made. Furnishings correspond to the period of the additions and overall the homestead mirrors the growth of the 19th ‘Century Wyoming Valley. Interpretations at each of the homes provide background on the area’s early history and the arrival of Connecticut set- tlers in 1769. Conflicting land claims with Pennsyl- vania resulted in the Yankee-Pennamite Wars before and after the Revo- lutionary War. Denison and Swetland were members of the local militia in the Revolution and were involved in the battle and massacre of Wyoming, a monument to which was erected near the Swetland Homestead. Denison House is open weekdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekends during the summer from 1 to 4:30 p.m. The Swetland Home- stead is open Thursday through Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. until Sept. 2.
