History
George Stephenson's Birthplace is the 18th-century stone cottage home of rail pioneer George Stephenson. Located along the north bank of the River Tyne in the village of Wylam, Northumberland, the cottage is owned by the National Trust and until recently it was open to the public as a historic house museum. The house also featured exhibits about Stephenson's Rocket, an early steam locomotive. The Museum is no longer open to the public.
