Housenick Park

Housenick Park is located in the northwestern part of Bethlehem Township along the Monocacy Creek (a tributary of the Lehigh River).

Automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian access to the park is from Nazareth Pike and Christian Spring Road in Bethlehem Township.

Elizabeth Prime left her home and surrounding land to Bethlehem's Central Moravian Church on her death on May 25, 2006.

The 1836 Adam Geringer farmstead (Pennsylvania bank barn and farmhouse with outbuildings) was sold by Leckonby's estate to the Friends of Johnston, a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to preservation and adaptive reuse of the property, in 2015.

The two parcels of Housenick Park are the core of what was at one time an almost one square mile (2.5 km sq) property assembled in the late 1910s and early 1920s by Archibald Johnston.

The current trails lead from the parking lot to the Archibald Johnston Mansion (referred to as the "big house"), then along the Monocacy Creek to the south to the bird blind and cement bridge.
