Pennsbury Manor (400 Pennsbury Memorial Rd., Morrisville, 215/946-0400, www.pennsburymanor.org [1], Tues.–Sun., hours change seasonally, $5 adult, $4.50 senior, $3 child 6–17) is William Penn’s re-created 17th-century country manor and farm. Penn preferred the tranquility of country living to crowded urban dwellings, and at the peaceful 43-acre Pennsbury Manor, it is easy to see why.
Visitors can tour the manor house, brew house, workman’s cottage, smokehouse, blacksmith shop, and barn, and see farm animals including oxen, horses, and sheep. On Sundays from April through October there are costumed interpreters at the site that make it easy to imagine the working colonial farm.
