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.

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.

In July of 1862, a young man named Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford lecturer, who wrote under the pen name, Lewis Carroll, created a magical story of a self-assured young girl named Alice who tumbled through a rabbit hole into Wonderland. As the story goes, Alice, the heroine of the story, shrinks and grows; meets an array of unusual people including the Queen of Hearts, a mad Hatter, and attends a tea party. The result was a book entitled, "Alice's Adventures Underground." Later he would also write "Through the Looking Glass." In all these books, a young Alice Liddell (Paul) is the main character. While the story is fascinating, so is the story of these two people.

On Sunday, July 21, from 4 to 6 pm, come to Pennypacker Mills for a delightful presentation about Alice in Wonderland and the author who wrote the now famous story. The serene Pennypacker porch will be the setting for a three-course summer tea with scones, sandwiches, and desserts, along with tea, of course. Wear your summer best to this special program. Our servants will be in period attire as will our Hostesses.

Living historian and presenter, Alisa Dupuy will bring this exciting story to life and debunk some of the rumors and myths. Dupuy's goals are to make history fun, exciting, and memorable for those who attend her presentations. Come for this fascinating look at one of the most inquisitive stories of the 19th century!

Fee: $40/person, by pre-registration only. Deadline Thursday, July 11. Call 610-287-9349 today. 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.
