Pennsbury Manor is a reconstruction of William Penn’s country estate set along the Delaware River, approximately one-hour drive away from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As the only site in the nation dedicated to preserving the historical significance of William Penn, Pennsbury Manor also tells the stories of the colonists, servants, enslaved people, and Native Americans who lived on this land.

This special visit for the Friends Historical Association will focus on William Penn’s Quakerism and his relationship to George Fox. It will include a tour and conversation, both with Site Director Doug Miller.

After the tour and conversation, visitors are welcome to continue exploring Pennsbury Manor on their own. Open-Hearth Cooking demonstrations continue until 4pm and the site remains open until 5pm.

Interested friends are invited to attend Meeting for Worship at Fallsington Friends Meeting at 11am and a brown bag lunch at the Pennsbury Manor Pavilion.
