Summary: The Heller Homestead in Hellertown, Northampton County is a historic site dating back to 1751 when it was home to Michael and Margaret Heller. Three other existing and original structures remain at the Heller Homestead, the Widow’s House (1850), an original root cellar, and remains of 2.5-story stone barn (c.1751). The site is now under the stewardship of the Saucon Valley Conservancy, which is dedicated to preserving the historical and natural environment in the area.

The homestead features period-furnished rooms and houses an art gallery featuring rotating exhibits by local artists, as well as a gift shop that accepts consignments and donations. In 2010, the homestead was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
