It is uncertain whether this was Conrad Weiser's house. Conrad Weiser owned this land and lived on the property from 1729 to about 1750, and a strong oral tradition places his house on this spot. However, archaeology conducted in 2000 found few artifacts dating to the early 1700s. Even if he lived in this house, it changed considerably after his time. The Scheetz family, who farmed the area after the Weisers, used the homestead as a summer kitchen. Later owners repaired the building after damage from a fire and a tornado in the early 1900s, and additional renovations followed when Conrad Weiser Memorial Park was founded in the 1920s. As a result, very little of the original construction material remains.
