Tours and Programs

Guided Tours

Guided tours  provide you with a glimpse into 17th century life. Tours last approximately 1 1/2 hours and include entrance into our award-winning William Penn: Seed of a Nation exhibit, an orientation video, and a guided tour of the grounds and Manor House. After your tour, you are free to explore the 43-acre country estate. Take a stroll through our gardens or walk along the banks of the Delaware River. Visit the stables to catch a glimpse of our oxen or sheep grazing in the pastures. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy our covered picnic pavilion. Before you leave, make sure you stop in the gift shop to take home a special souvenir from your visit.

Guided tours for groups of 10 or more people are available by reservation and must be made in advance. Call 215-946-0400 to make a reservation. Check here for admission, hours and tour times. Not sure how to find us, please visit our map & directions page.

Family Tours

Family Tours feature hands-on activities for a kid-friendly way of exploring William Penn’s country estate. One of our Museum Educators will lead your group along multiple stops through the grounds, giving young guests the chance to card wool, water the garden using a thumb pot, recreate medical cures, and more. RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED AT LEAST 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE. Call (215) 946-0400 to reserve your spot!
