Muhlenberg House, 201 W Main St, Collegeville, PA, 19426

<h2>Saturday, July 11, 10 am to 4 pm</h2>
Experience a pivotal moment in local history at the Muhlenberg House, commemorating the 250th anniversary of Henry and Mary Muhlenberg’s return to Trappe in July 1776. Fleeing the uncertainty of war in Philadelphia after the Declaration of Independence, the Muhlenbergs sought refuge in what they hoped would be a peaceful new home—though history would soon prove otherwise.
Throughout the day, visitors can explore the house on tours led by interpreters in period clothing stationed in each room and explore the colonial herb garden. Living history demonstrations will showcase the skills and daily tasks of the 1700s. Kids can join in colonial-era games and hands-on activities, making this a fun and engaging experience for the whole family. A full-size Conestoga wagon will also be on display, illustrating how families like the Muhlenbergs transported their belongings across the countryside. The Speaker's House and kitchen garden will also be open for tours and are included with paid admission for the Move-In Day event.
Location: The Muhlenberg House, 201 W. Main St. Trappe, PA. Parking will be available across the street at St. Luke’s Church, 200 W. Main St.&nbsp;

Join us for a thought-provoking program that broadens our understanding of the Revolutionary War and honors the diverse patriots who supported our struggle for independence during the American Revolution.
Enjoy the game “Forgotten versus Famous Patriots” as we explore the often-overlooked stories of the American Revolutionary War by identifying the roles of African American, Native American, and women patriots who fought, sacrificed, and helped shape our nation’s early history. You will learn about some overlooked patriots and the famous leaders with whom they served. You will discover the disparities in treatment between the two groups. 
In this game, players compete to guess the names of famous or forgotten historical patriots found on game cards. By taking turns asking only "Yes" or "No" questions about each patriot's life, participants work to uncover their true identities. To assist players, a reference guide with example questions is provided.
