Built in 1716, the Mouns Jones House is the oldest documented building in all of Berks County. 🏠

Back in 1701, the land it sits on was granted to Mouns Jones by William Penn himself. That land later became Amity Township—the first township in Berks County—named for the peaceful relationships with Native American communities.

What’s the oldest building near where you live?

🎮 Bonus points if you can guess the video game that inspired the pixelated image of the Mouns Jones House shown in this post!
