George Wilson Homestead is a historic home located at Halfmoon Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1810, and is a 2 1/2-story, five bay, limestone and sandstone dwelling with a medium pitch gable roof. The house measures 40 feet by 25 feet, and is in the Georgian style. A 1 1/2-story, 16 feet square addition was built about 1870. Also on the property are a number of contributing outbuildings including the barn (c. 1820), carriage shed, storage garage (1930s), saltbox shed, gable shed, two corn cribs, and an ice house. George Wilson was the pioneer Quaker settler in the Halfmoon Valley.
