The Caleb Pusey House, built in 1683 in Upland, Pennsylvania in the United States, is the second oldest English house in Pennsylvania that is open to the public. Designed in a vernacular, English, yeoman's style, it is the only remaining house that William Penn is known to have visited. It stood on 100 acres (0.40 km2) near Chester Creek, which Penn granted to Pusey, a plantation which the latter named "Landing Ford." Since the 1950s, the building and grounds (now nine acres) have been owned by the Friends of the Caleb Pusey House, Inc. The house was restored and the property is operated as an historic house museum.It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
