Dear Friends of the Society:

Summer has traditionally been the time that we showcase our two largest artifacts, the Andrew Miller House-Dewees Tavern and our restored 18th century Henry Melchior Muhlenberg House, every Sunday afternoon. Visitors this year will be treated to a special exhibit of Period Attire in "The Tavern" and many recently acquired colonial period furnishings and household items in the Muhlenberg's residence.

Our archaeological exploration of what was at one time the Muhlenberg's summer kitchen has been suspended for the summer.  It is planned to continue in 2011.  Our Field School, led by Mr. Lou Farrell and staffed by volunteer "diggers", began on June 23rd and continued until July 18, 2010. Visitors and explorers stopped by to take a look at what we were doing and even got involved in the dig themselves. Click on the link above for more information.

We invite your support and participation in our efforts to preserve the rich historical heritage of Trappe, Collegeville, and the Perkiomen Valley as a legacy for present and future generations.

The Dewees Tavern Museum and the Henry Melchior Muhlenberg House are prominent historic landmarks in our community, yet for many they are history awaiting discovery.
Your membership helps preserve and maintain these historic sites, the artifacts that tell the story of the lives of our forebearers, and our extensive research library.

Please visit our museums and join us in our events during the year. Your support enables the Society to continue our mission to safeguard our precious resources and inform and educate all who pass our way.
