Revel in the crisp breezes and falling leaves of autumn and take part in a day of historic fun at Pottsgrove Manor’s Harvest Happenings.

Guests can explore the exciting harvest activities of autumn. Offerings include cranking the wheel of the cider press to turn an apple into a special seasonal drink, stirring the apple butter as it cooks into a delicious treat over the open fire, discovering how the flax harvest is turned into linen, and seeing how a great wheel helps spinners transform wool into yarn.

Visitors can warm up by the kitchen hearth and see what special 18th century treats are being made from the seasonal abundance. Families can also have their silhouette or miniature portrait done by artist Ruth Williams.

Living History interpreters bring the past to life and invite guests to join in with plenty of hands-on-history fun, perfect for every age. Plus kids can create their own free silhouette craft, a perfect take-home souvenir. Colonial games and tours of the Potts family home top off this family friendly autumn event.

This is a rain or shine event.
