Historic Pusey House Slates Foundation Day Celebration
The 13-acre Landingford Plantation, located creekside on Race Street in the lower end of Upland Borough, will soon host an event that celebrates construction of the historic Caleb Pusey House in the spring of 1683.
Pusey House Foundation Day will be held from noon to 4p.m., Saturday, May 12.
The free family-oriented event will feature guided tours of the Pusey House and Crozer Schoolhouse #1 (built 1849) next door, food and refreshments, Colonial re-enactors and musicians, and Colonial craft demonstrations.
Starting at 8:30a.m. on the prior Saturday (May 5), the Friends of the Caleb Pusey House will host a general property clean-up to prepare for guests. Volunteers are welcome to participate and should bring work gloves.
The Pusey House is the oldest English cottage in America, and the only structure still standing in Pennsylvania that can verify visits by William Penn.
Welcome Day, which celebrated the Chester landing of Pusey and Penn on the sailing ship Welcome in October 1682, had been the FCPH's annual showcase since 2006. Due to the repeated flooding of Chester Creek in September and October of the last two years, however, cancellation of the event had been necessary.
The FCPH is now hoping that by moving their annual celebration to spring, the tides of fortune will change.
For more event information, or to schedule group tours from May through October, call FCPH President Ray Peden at 610-874-5665.
