      DETAILS
      General Info
      The Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation is a living history museum whose purpose is to enhance understanding of 18th century farm life in southeastern Pennsylvania by providing a high quality, research-based experience to the public. The Plantation was established and funded in 1975 as part of our nation’s Bicentennial celebration. Financial support for the Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation came from both the public and private sectors. With this support, stabilization of the buildings and actual restoration began. Thirty acres of land were cleared, livestock was procured and extensive archaeological, research and educational programs went into operation. The Plantation is located on 112 acres in Ridley Creek State Park and operates under a lease arrangement with the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The formal structured education program which had been steadily growing since its inception in 1974 took on a more significant role in the mission of the Plantation. Each year, the Plantation’s On-site Education Program hosts about 10,000 teachers and school students from throughout the Delaware Valley as well as an occasional tour for seniors and other non-school groups.Also, thousands of tourists and local residents come to the Plantation each year to participate in regular and special weekend events. Guides in colonial are always available to interact with visitors, provide information, interpret colonial life and answer their questions.The Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation is a living history museum whose purpose is to enhance understanding of 18th century farm life in southeastern Pennsylvania by providing a high quality, research-based experience to the public.
