Stroud Mansion
Historic mansion museum
About
The Stroud Mansion is the home of the Monroe County Historical Association, at the corner of Main and Ninth streets in downtown Stroudsburg. The museum has four floors of exhibit space on the history of Monroe County, with permanent exhibits that run from Native American times to the present and special exhibits that rotate through the year.
The Association also runs a research and genealogy library in the building. In 2026 it opened a Heritage Center addition with a Community Room and an elevator for full access to the Mansion.
History
Jacob Stroud, the founder of Stroudsburg and a Revolutionary War colonel, built the 12-room house in 1795. Over the years it served as a family home, tavern and boarding house. The Monroe County Historical Association has been based here since 1921, and the mansion is on the National Register of Historic Places.
