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.

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.

This free workshop is for middle school girls, grades 6-8.

Are you just beginning to code or want to start but are afraid it will be too challenging? Well, we encourage you to get out there and dive right in because 'YOU Can Code!" In this workshop, students will use Blockly, a drag and drop language to interface with the memory of the computer.

We will be trying a number of puzzles, mazes and games to explore sequential events, selection and repetition. Students will also begin to learn to code using real language with CodinGame, a free online program that allows coders at any stage to improve their coding skills by solving the World's most challenging problems, learn new concepts, and get inspired by the best developers. After, students will be able to access these web pages and more at home to continue their learning.

What does it take to put together a TV show? In this hands-on workshop, you'll find out by working in the La Salle TV studio to create a "live" program using our script, graphics, and video. We'll introduce you to all the equipment that makes a show possible and demonstrate how to use those tools. Then, it will be your turn. Maybe you'll be in the studio, setting up the shots as camera operator or reading from the teleprompter as talent. Perhaps you'll be in the control room, adjusting the sound with the audio board or running the teleprompter for the host to read. You could be in charge of it all as the director calling the shots!

This workshop is open to girls at all levels of experience with video production. You will work with the college students who staff La Salle TV along with the station manager. In addition to practicing an entire show script, we'll also have you produce some segments that will air on our regular programs! (If you don't have Philadelphia cable, no worries. You can catch your work on our YouTube channel.)
