Pennsbury Manor

Description

As the only site in the nation dedicated to preserving the historical significance of William Penn, Pennsbury Manor is here to bring the past into the present by telling the stories of the colonists, servants, enslaved people, and Native Americans who lived on this land.

Pennsbury Manor considers itself a steward of the past – bringing history to life through a variety of cultural and educational programming and events.

Don't miss “Sundays at Pennsbury” events, offered April through October, where you can watch colonial craftspeople demonstrate their skills in open hearth cooking, joynery, and blacksmithing. Other programs feature Pennsbury Manor's gardens and stables and their roles in colonial life.

 

Pennsbury Manor Colonial Kids Camp

Step Back in Time at Colonial Kids Camp at Pennsbury Manor!

In Penn’s time, food and medicine were grown in a garden, the major highway to Philadelphia was the Delaware River, and clothing was hand-spun out of wool. Pennsbury Manor’s immersive summer camp promises an unforgettable blend of education, fun, and hands-on exploration for young history enthusiasts.

Pennsbury Manor’s expert educators bring history to life through engaging activities. Campers will try their hand at 17th-century games, master the art of quill writing, and even meet some of the friendly farm animals. Learning has never been this much fun! At the end of the week, parents and caregivers are invited for a camper-led living history tour of the site.

Colonial Kids Camp is for children ages 7-9. Camp runs from July 14th – 18th from 9 am to 4 pm.

    I wanted to share again what an AMAZING Time Dylan had at the Pennsbury Manor Summer Camp!

    His excitement in telling of each daily activity from making the various toys, visiting the animals, going into William Penn’s Home, Etc. was great to listen to and be a part of.
