Hand washing clothes outside in the summer is quite fun. One hundred years ago however, all kinds of improvements were developed to make doing laundry less work. Come for this fascinating presentation about the technology of laundry and then try each of the new devices that were available for laundresses to use. For all ages. Information: 610-287-9349. Call if weather is inclement. This is an outdoor program.
Why not take a guided tour of the Pennypacker mansion while you're here! Guided tours are offered 10 am to 4 pm with last tour at 3 pm. FREE, suggested donation $2 per person.

Everyone in the family can try their hand at doing laundry with washers & wringers & clothespins! What fun! Great for families, scout troops, and anyone looking for a fun, free hands-on program on a Saturay afternoon!
