Pennsbury Manor is a reconstruction of William Penn's home along the Delaware River. The reconstruction, based upon archeological finds, written documents, and research of the period, was opened to the public in 1939. Our gardens contain heritage plants, while our stables house the resident farm animals who represent their colonial counterparts. Join us at one of our Sundays at Pennsbury events, offered April through October, where you can watch our colonial craftspeople demonstrate their skill at open hearth cooking, joynery, or blacksmithing; learn about the gardens and gardeners, or visit with our animals and discover what their role was in the 17th Century.

The scenery was beautiful! Our tour guide helped complete the picture by providing a historical perspective. It was excellent and I would recommend.
Had a great day learning and living history! Would recommend it to all historical lovers.
