Volunteers at Pennsbury Manor
These volunteers are modeling the many different outfits created by our sewing program.

Pennsbury Manor is the reconstructed home of William Penn - prominent Quaker and founder of Pennsylvania! The quiet setting of this 43-acre estate offers a welcome relief from the hustle-and-bustle of modern life where visitors can experience 17th-century colonial life. We need volunteers who can help us create clothing for our interpreters and tradespeople, who dress in historical ensembles. No knowledge of historical sewing required, we'll teach you everything you need to know. Projects are a combination of machine and hand-sewing. Knitting projects and lucette-weaving also available. 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.
