The Henry
Muhlenberg
House, at 201 W. Main Street
in Trappe, was
purchased by the society in 1989 and has been restored
to the period of 1776 when  Henry
Melchior
Muhlenberg resided there. Muhlenberg's Journal has provided a wealth of
information. Of particular interest are the roles of his sons, Peter
and Frederick, during the Revolutionary War and establishment of the
United States.The exterior renovation was completed in 1995. The task of appointing the Muhlenberg House with appropriate furniture is ongoing, and many pieces have been donated. In 2000, the house was included in the National Register of Historic Places after years of community participation and support in purchasing and preserving this site at a cost of over a million dollars.
