The Hayhurst Farm is a historic farmhouse near Wrightstown, Pennsylvania built by Quaker minister John Hayhurst in 1742. Hayhurst was a member of the Wrightstown Friends Meeting. General John Sullivan stayed at the farm from December 20–25, 1776 before crossing the Delaware River on Christmas night and leading troops in the Battle of Trenton. The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[2]
