‘An Apple a Day, the Colonial Way’ at Pottsgrove Manor Oct. 22

Enjoy autumn at historic Pottsgrove Manor with “An Apple a Day, the Colonial Way” on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Pottsgrove Manor’s staff and volunteers will demonstrate some of the ways apples were used in colonial days. Learn how apples would be made into both sweet and hard cider, and try working the cider press. Watch the colonial cooks as they make historic apple recipes. Young visitors can make themed crafts to take home.

There is a suggested donation of $2 per person for this program. The manor house will be open for

guided tours on the hour of the site’s current exhibit, “Potts and Family: Colonial Consumers,” and

visitors are welcome to shop in the museum store.
