Visiting the Rachel Carson Homestead

Celebrate Rachel’s life and legacy by visiting her birthplace and early home: the place most significant in her too-short life. This is where she lived and discovered the outdoors, developed her own “sense of wonder,” drew water from a spring-house, read and dreamed of becoming a writer.

We welcome visitors! Do not hesitate to contact us – email or phone 724-274-5459.

We ask that you call or email for confirmation only because in the worst weather, the house may be attended only if requested.

If you are at the house during “regular” open hours but the house is not open, please call the “emergency number” and someone will meet you promptly!

We appreciate your interest and look forward to your visit!
