Pennsbury Manor is the reconstructed home of William Penn - prominent Quaker and founder of Pennsylvania! We have over 20,000 school kids visit each year to learn about the struggles and successes of the people who lived in the New World! Our guided tours and school programs offer visitors the chance to experience 17th-century life, and our volunteers are really important in making that happen. No prior experience is needed, as you do receive training, but public-speaking skills and an interest in history is preferred. For more information, please contact us today!

About Pennsbury Manor State Historic Site
Location:
400 Pennsbury Memorial Road, Morrisville, PA 19067, US
Mission Statement
Pennsbury Manor is the reconstructed home of William Penn, the 17th century founder of Pennsylvania. Penn's vision for a uniquely American colony introduced many basic American ideals. Pennsbury's major purpose is educational. Through tours, exhibits and special programs we teach visitors about Penn's contribution and the social, cultural and material life of early Pennsylvania. As the last federally funded reconstruction, it is also significant to the history of historic preservation.
Description
The quiet setting of this 43-acre estate offers a welcome relief from the hustle-and-bustle of modern life where visitors can experience 17 th-century colonial life. Volunteers work in a variety of ways around the site according to their interests and availability. Our greatest need is always for tour guides, but volunteers also demonstrate colonial crafts, tend the historic gardens, care for our animals, and much more.
