Leonard Rhone House, also known as Rhoneymeade, is a historic home located at Potter Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania. It was built about 1853, and is a 2+1⁄2-story, L-shaped brick dwelling with a gable roof. It sits on a limestone foundation. The interior has a traditional Georgian center hall plan. Also on the property is a contributing outbuilding. The house was built by Leonard Rhone, who is traditionally regarded as the father of the Grange Fair.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]

The house and the surrounding property are now maintained as an arboretum and sculpture garden. There also is a labyrinth on the property. Visitors are welcomed free of charge on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am-4pm from April through October.[3]
