Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm is a living history museum in Stroudsburg, PA, that preserves a Pennsylvania German farm of the 1800s.

Interpreters in period clothing work the homestead: spinning and weaving in the cabin, hearth cooking in the farmhouse, animals in the barn, and the bake oven on Saturdays. Harvest Festival on October 10 and 11 brings outdoor cooking demonstrations, and Old Time Christmas in December turns the farm candlelit, with a live Nativity in the barnyard, carols at the schoolhouse and a visit from the Belschnikel.
