Denison House, also known as the Colonel Nathan Denison House, is a historic home located at Forty Fort, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. It was built about 1790, and is a -story, frame building with a central chimney in the New England style. A rear addition and full-width front porch were added in the mid-19th century.[2] The house has since been restored to its appearance in the 1790s.[3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
Col. Nathan Denison was a Revolutionary Officer and a Luzerne County Judge. The Denison House features a table on which the Articles of Capitulation were signed, surrendering Forty Fort to the British and ending the Battle of Wyoming.[4]
The property is owned and maintained by the Luzerne County Historical Society. It is open for guided tours in the summer.
