About COLONIAL PENNSYLVANIA FARMSTEAD
Location:
3900 South Sandy Flash Road, Newtown Square, PA 19073, US
Mission Statement
At the Colonial Pennsylvania Farmstead, we strive to present a typical Pennsylvania farm from the period 1760-1790. To accomplish this, we rely on primary documents detailing both the history of our particular site but also similar farms in southeastern Pennsylvania. Although we do not interpret our farm as the "Pratt Farm," we have been able to use the actual records of our site to shape how we interpret colonial farm life.
Description
We are a living history farm from the 1700s. We welcome volunteers for interpretation, board development and teaching. We teach volunteers how to perform 18th century skills that they use for interpretation of farm life to the public.
