Pottsgrove Manor hosts the 1st and 3rd Battalion of the Pennsylvania Regiment on Saturday, July 21, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to teach all ages about life during the French and Indian War.
Also known as the Seven Years War, it was, in part, a battle for the control of resources in the British Colonies and French Canada from 1754 to 1763.
The war changed the economic, political, and social aspects of life in Colonial America, yet the war is often overlooked today.
Ironmaster John Potts’ involvement in the war is unclear but his role as a Judge meant he kept an eye towards community safety.
Build your knowledge about this critical era at Pottsgrove Manor, and join the living history interpreters portraying a Pennsylvania Provincial unit to learn about this period.
Talk with soldiers about the challenges of army life and the battles during the war. Discover more about their unique uniform and their daily routine during camp life. Drill and train with the best in Pennsylvania and see if you have what it takes to muster through a day in the 18th century army.
Tours of the manor will also be available throughout the day. Explore Pottsgrove Manor’s new exhibit, “Good Night at the Manor,” to uncover the evening routines of the Potts family as well as their household staff.
