I only got to see the grounds however, the lawn mowing attendant was super friendly let me know what the speel was. The surrounding willow trees are a sight to see plus, I think tours are available during a certain time frame! I mean it does offer perspective into a different era without our modern technology!

I went for the apple days with a friend. So much fun! It was a beautiful place with lots of historical aspects. There was an amazing variety of activities to do as well!

Be advised that this place is not open to the public. It was highly rated on TripAdvisor and I thought it would be a cool place to check out on an a sunny Autumn Afternoon. I had never been to Bethlehem before, and I thought it would be interesting to see some historical sights. The gates were wide open and there was no sign indicating that visits were restricted and no hours posted. Despite this, my spouse and I were, very kindly, informed that we were trespassing. It was awkward and we left. It looked interesting, but won't be back here or to Bethlehem again unless they make the sights more open or at least make clear what is open to the public and not.

Went here for the apple festival. The cover fee per person was $12 which I thought was ridiculous for the underwhelming presence of vendors. Much better options locally to go pick apples and enjoy the fall season. People were turning around at the gate once they heard the fee. Look around; it was a ghost town. Felt sorry for the vendors there.

I attended Apple Fest on Saturday, 9/17. What a nice surprise that I could buy entrance to sample some craft beer, cider, and local spirits. Delicious! I toured the plantation house, summer kitchen with a Colonial cooking demonstration, the barn, and the gardens. The house has been restored to its original appearance with period furniture. I would love to go back.

Lovely way to spend a couple hours. The guided tour of the plantation house was fascinating. Our guide, Madeline, was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all our questions. We enjoyed browsing the Apple Festival.

Docent very knowledgeable and friendly. Attended the Apple Festival so it was very busy. Garden was huge and well-laid out. Also, plants were labeled which was helpful. Will go again in the Spring.

The Monocacy Creek along with the Burnside Plantation and the Trail through the area is momentous!

Beautiful venue. We'll kept. Awesome historic venue! Neat that it is a little hidden gem tucked away from things, but also still centrally located.

Just went to the blueberry festival here and have been here for the apple festival. Always a good time. Good history and very family friendly.

Beautiful old plantation / farm with colonial era dress and demonstrations. Restored house, barn, and out buildings are wonderfully picturesque. Several events throughout the year create a larger event on the site, such as the annual blueberry festival. This is a highly recommended visit for tourist of long time residents of the Lehigh valley area. There are plenty of activities for young and old alike.
