Pennypacker Mills invites the community to step back into the 18th century with a special free Porch Performance on July 11 at 4:00 PM, featuring an actor-historian portraying one of America’s most iconic Founding Fathers: Benjamin Franklin.
Set against the backdrop of the mansion’s grand porch, this lively and engaging portrayal of Franklin will explore his wit, wisdom, and wide‑ranging contributions to early American life. Guests of all ages will have the chance to experience history in an accessible, entertaining format.
Guests are invited to arrive early for guided mansion tours, offered throughout the afternoon, with the final tour beginning at 3:00 PM. After exploring the beautifully preserved home, visitors can settle in on the lawn for an engaging and family‑friendly program. Bring a blanket or lawn chair, enjoy the scenic grounds, and immerse yourself in a unique blend of education and entertainment.
The event is free; suggested donation of $2 per person. This performance is part of Pennypacker Mills’ Porch Performance Series, sponsored by the Friends of Pennypacker Mills.
