A historic estate in Bucks County will be hosting an informative lecture and demonstration on trades that took place during the country’s founding.

Pennsbury Manor, located at 400 Pennsbury Memorial Road in Morrisville, will be hosting a demonstration on historic trades on Sept. 3 from 1 – 4 PM.

“Come and witness some of the trades and crafts that were done at Pennsbury Manor during the 17th Century,” event organizers said online. “Our blacksmiths, joyners and spinners will be eager to talk to you about their work and its importance during Penn’s time.”

The manor was once the estate of William Penn, the founder of the state of Pennsylvania who is considered the father of Bucks County.

“Pennsylvania’s early history, influenced by the idealism of its founder William Penn, makes it unique among the original thirteen colonies,” the manor’s website reads. “Religious tolerance, diversity, and representative government became reality here in Pennsylvania.”
