The Parsons-Taylor House, located on the corner of 4th and Ferry Streets in downtown Easton, was built in 1757 by William Parsons.
Parsons, who is also known as the "Father of Easton," died on December 17, 1757 shortly after moving into his new home.
Over the years, the house changed hands and in 1780 George Taylor, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, leased it briefly. Taylor passed away in the home's upstairs bedroom on February 23, 1781.
The George Taylor House Association purchased the Parsons-Taylor House in 1906.
General and educational tours are given through open-house events or appointments.
An open house is held annually in July during Easton Heritage Day.
