| The William Penn Connection |
|
|
William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, nurtured a precious dream - to create a colony in the New World where men and women could worship as they pleased. His dream took shape in places like Pennsbury Manor and Fallsington. Here, he and other Quakers worshipped freely without threat of imprisonment. Together Pennsbury Manor and Historic Fallsington form a tangible link to Penn's legacy to the New World. We invite you to visit these symbols of our heritage. |
|
| Morning | Visit Pennsbury Manor - Penn's dream for his family built on the banks of the Delaware River. The sprawling 43-acre plantation, with its scurrying barnyard animals, bake and brew house, and lush gardens, suggests the bustle of 17th century life. Yet the stately Manor House, sitting majestically on the riverbank, exemplifies the spirit of Penn's convictions. |
| Luncheon | Included as well as discount in Pennsbury's Manor shop and a complimentary tour escort |
| Afternoon | Through the centuries, Fallsington has sustained the serenity of Penn's time. The Moon-Williamson House, a log house built about 1685, stands on its original sycamore-shaded plot. The Burgess-Lippincott House, built in four stages from the early 1700's to 1829, is famous for its doorway, finely carved fireplace and intricate features. Three meeting houses and a variety of 18th and 19th century homes attest to enduring Quaker influence. |
