Looking for a fun, outdoor experience for the whole family? Why not pick up an Outdoor Treasure Hunt brochure in the parking lot kiosk and discover the history of this site! It's FREE and fun for the whole family! Look for informational signs that will reveal the story of PA Governor Pennypacker and his family, who was the landscape architect here, all about the Revolutionary War encampment that occurred here in the fall of 1777 and why not take note of the birds, wildflowers, and animals that inhabit the meadow. You never know when you might see a red tailed hawk, deer, or groundhog! Dress for the weather as you'll be outdoors.
