The Rhoads Homestead is an historic, American homestead that is located in New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

History and architectural features

The farmhouse consists of two sections; the oldest was built circa 1734. The first section is a -story, fieldstone structure with an attached, one-story, sloped-roof, fieldstone addition. A second house dates to 1760 and is a -story, fieldstone dwelling that was remodeled during the nineteenth century in the Victorian style. It has a two-story, stone addition and a one-story board-and-batten addition.

Associated with this house are stone spring houses, board-and-batten woodsheds, a clapboard pump shelter, and the ruins of a small bank barn. The third house was built in 1858 and is a small -story, board-and-batten dwelling that was built to house servants.

This homestead was the site of General William Alexander's three week bivouac prior to the Battle of Trenton from December 8 through December 25, 1776.
