Passavant House

Passavant House is a historic home located at Zelienople, Butler County, Pennsylvania. The second oldest house in Zelienople now serves as a museum, library, and headquarters for the Zelienople Historical Society.[2] Its name reflects the Passavant family, the most famous of whom was Rev. William Passavant (1821-1894, known for his charitable works on behalf of the Lutheran community in the United States) born in the house. The interior now features a large collection of furniture, clothing, personal and household items, particularly of the Passavant family, dating back to the early 1800s.
