Are you looking for a fun family
outing? Consider a visit to the Peter Wentz Farmstead in Worcester Township,
where you’ll learn what life was like in the Revolutionary Period. Built in 1758,
this historic property served as the headquarters for George Washington in the
Fall of 1777.
Now owned by Montgomery County, the
home has been impressively restored and furnished to reflect life in the 1770s.
The grounds include a working farm and reconstructed barn, shining a light on farming
practices in the eighteenth century.
Guided tours of the home are available,
and an archaeology exhibit is housed onsite. Among the special events offered
are nature walks, outreach programs, and classes on colonial craft making (now virtual).
Advance registration for tours is
required.
