provide tours throughout the year, Summer is that special time when we can welcome
visitors to share our rich historic legacy.”
Of special interest is our 2009 Textile Exhibit at the Dewees Museum. Ruth Daller of the Museum Committee coordinated the preparation of this special Summer Exhibit showcasing the Society’s large textile collection consisting of coverlets, quilts, and fabrics of various types. Said Daller, “It is such a pleasure to have the opportunity to display these wonderful, mostly 18th century pieces, that have been donated over the years.” Don’t let the Summer pass without a Sunday visit to this exhibit. You may also call to arrange a group tour (610-489-7560) for your club or organization. The Dewees Museum is located at 301 W.Main Street at the intersection of Route 113 in Trappe. This historic site reflects the history of the area with collections from the 18th century through current times. The Henry Muhlenberg House located at 201 W Main Street, which has been restored to the period of 1776 when the Muhlenbergs resided there, reflects the lifestyle of this family.
