On August 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, Pottsgrove Manor’s costumed interpreters will be living life the colonial way, with activities such as needlework, gunsmithing, butter churning, tape-loom weaving, and more. Visitors can watch, learn, and even join in! Activities will vary from week to week, so call ahead to find out what will be offered the day of your visit.
Guests can also tour the museum’s current exhibit, “So Long and Toilsome a Journey: Transportation in Colonial Pennsylvania.” Guided tours of the manor house, including the exhibit, are available during regular museum hours. A donation of $2 per person is suggested.
