Heritage
Millbrook Village is a representation of a late 19th Century rural community, rather than an exact restoration of the original Millbrook that has its origins in an 1832 grist mill that soon was surrounded by other businesses and homes. This scene represents the many villages that dotted the landscape and played a special role in the growth of our country. Here we remember a way of life led by millions of Americans until they abandoned it for the cities.
Shippen Manor is a c.1754 iron master’s residence built by Dr. William Shippen, Sr. The Shippens were socially prominent members of a wealthy Philadelphia family. The museum offers guided tours on the 1st and 2nd Sundays from May to December, except on holidays. Admission is free (donations to our Friends group are welcome). Field trips and group tours by appointment only. Free summer concert series on Sunday evenings from Father’s Day until Labor Day weekends.
