May. 8th - Jan. 31st

visit Pennypacker Mills for a fascinating look at Pennsylvania Governor Samuel Pennypacker's family history in this new exhibit, "Family Roots." Focusing on Pennypacker's paternal family history, the exhibit explores the arrival of the first ancestor in America in 1698 through to Samuel's generation. Samuel collected more than just information. His passion for family history included artifacts that related to his family as well as silhouettes of his grandparents, signatures of all of the men in his direct line, pieces of furniture, personal items and of course the genealogy and family Bibles. His research took him to Holland and Germany and correspondence with as many relatives as he could find. He did this without the benefit of the Internet, on-line resources we have today, or telephone! Pennypacker's passion for family history is a great example to those of us who are seeking out our own genealogy.

The exhibit is included on all free guided tours of the Pennypacker mansion. The exhibit is located on the second floor of the mansion, which is not handicapped accessible. Groups of 8+ are requested to contact the site to book a free group tour.

Pennypacker Mills, known for its original collection of 18th through early 20th century decorative arts, furnishings, and official and personal documents, offers guided tours, changing exhibits, educational programs, seasonal events, and craft workshops during the year. Admission & parking are free. The Pennypacker mansion offers visitors a glimpse of life in the early 1900's when the Pennypacker family lived here. Museum hours are 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, Tuesday through Saturday; 1:00 pm to 4 pm, Sunday. Closed Mondays and major holidays.

Relive the sights and sounds of the Civil War battle in Perkiomen Valley on Saturday, June 1, 2019, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, June 2, 2019, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., as Pennypacker Mills hosts its free Civil War Event. Visitors can experience uniform inspections, dress parades, artillery demonstrations, living history demonstrations, music and songs of the Civil War Era, meeting Union generals, shopping, and special activities for children. Don't miss this fun educational opportunity! Please bring family and friends, but no pets, please.

Watch your children become Union soldiers in the 'Be a Soldier Kid Enlistment' activity each day with the 71st PA Volunteers. They will take the Oath of Allegiance and learn to march and drill with members of the 69th PA Volunteers, which will make for wonderful photo memories. Throughout the weekend, visit the artillery and military encampments, speak with knowledgeable reenactors about their particular units, find out how they lived in a camp, and what they kept in their haversack too. A food vendor will be on site offering morning coffee, lunch, and afternoon refreshments.

A tour will take visitors through two floors of Pennsylvania Governor and Civil War veteran, Samuel Pennypacker's home. Of special interest are artifacts from his time in the 26th PA Emergency Militia. His cousin, Breveted Major General Galusha Pennypacker's memorabilia and military insignias will be on display as well. Galusha received the Medal of Honor for Valor for his action at the Battle of Fort Fisher, Cape Fear, North Carolina.

On Saturday, attend a presentation in the Classroom building by historian and educator Herb Kaufman whose expertise on Civil War era medicine and surgery is capped off with a display of authentic surgical implements. Visit with Lucy Cadwallader, an antique hair jewelry living historian who will talk about the significance of hair as a keepsake and will also sell it on the mansion porch. After the battle, tour the mansion and special exhibits, come and tap your toes to the music of the 28th PA Regimental Brass Band on the mansion porch.

On Sunday, stop by for an early period church service offered by a Confederate preacher on the mansion lawn, which is sure to remind you of the 1860s. On the mansion porch hear the music and songs of Matthew Dodd who will engage everyone in songs of the North & South throughout the day. Dodd plays a variety of instruments and explains the meaning behind many of the popular Civil War era songs of the day. Not to be missed! Lucy Cadwallader will also offer her outstanding talk about hair jewelry on the mansion porch. Kids may sign up as Union soldiers with our 'Be a Soldier Kid Enlistment' Program too. The Pennypacker mansion will also be open for tours and special exhibits.

Jun. 15th - Oct. 10th

Stop by to see a new exhibit that will explore the encampment that took place at Pennypacker Mills during the Revolutionary War. On September 26th, 1777, Philadelphia fell to the British Army. Losing the capital usually meant losing the war. On that same day George Washington brought his army onto the property at Pennypacker Mills. With the manufacturing in Philadelphia cut off, Washington wrote quite a few letters from Pennypacker Mills looking for supplies such as shoes, hats and blankets. New recruits joined him here as well.
The owners of the property, Samuel and Hannah Pannebecker shared a variety of stories about the encampment with neighbors and grandchildren. Governor Pennypacker was able to hear and write down some of these stories that will be shared in this exhibit. Washington spent four days on the property reorganizing his army and holding a council of war with his generals where they decided to move the army closer to Philadelphia to possibly engage the British once again. On October 4th, the two armies fought at Germantown. Upon losing that battle, the army retreated all the way back to Pennypacker Mills. He knew of the great defensive the hills and creek held for him. It was during this second encampment that includes the famous story of George Washington returning General Howe's dog. The exhibit will show artifacts found on the property including an actual order from General Washington and include many of the human interest stories that took place. The exhibit will be in the second floor bedroom where the owner of the property brought Washington a bowl of water each morning to wash with.

The exhibit is located on the second floor of the mansion and is not handicapped accessible.

Hours: Tues-Sat: 10 am to 4 pm; Sun: 1 to 4 pm. Closed Mondays and County holidays.

Jun. 23rd

In the early 1840's, base ball was a game of sportsmanship, an opportunity for camaraderie, and borrowing plays from cricket and rounders. The umpire, dressed in a frock coat and top hat, stood next to the batter, while the scorekeepers sat at a table near the first base. Such was the beginning of what we now call baseball! Come to the Mills on Sunday, June 23, from 1 to 3 pm as the Mid-Atlantic Base Ball League brings those early days of the American pastime to life with a rousing game!
What started out as an amateur game of athletics, soon became a competitive, profit making sport. New rules of play, commercial advertising, and pay for players was soon the norm. Come to the Mills, spread a blanket, and enjoy an old-fashioned game of base ball. The Pennypacker mansion will be open for guided tours too. Both tours and the game are free.
Pennypacker Mills is operated by the Montgomery County Division of Parks, Trails & Historic Sites. Open year-round. Hours: Tuesday through Saturday: 10 am to 4 pm; Sunday: 1 to 4 pm. Closed Mondays and County holidays. For more information call: 610-287-9349.
