Help Pennsbury Manor’s Animals
HELP US HELP OUR ANIMAL FRIENDS
In William Penn’s time, the animals at Pennsbury Manor would have been part of a working farm that sustained the people living there. Today, our sheep, geese, oxen, and horses serve to educate the public about the crucial role of their predecessors.
Pennsbury Manor is one of a handful of museums that maintains a living collection of retired animals. Under the direction of our animal care specialist Carole, our animals receive an excellent quality of life that they otherwise would not have had.
Unfortunately, some of our animals have been dealing with health issues that have placed a financial strain on us. With your generous donation, we will be able to continue to provide a great life for our animals. Donate here.

On Wednesday, September 27 at 7 PM, Norman E. Donoghue II will discuss his new book, Prisoners of Congress: Philadelphia’s Quakers in Exile at the Washington Crossing Historic Park Visitor Center Auditorium.
In 1777, Congress labeled Quakers who would not take up arms in support of the War of Independence as “the most Dangerous Enemies America knows” and ordered Pennsylvania and Delaware to apprehend them. In response, Keystone State officials sent twenty men—seventeen of whom were Quakers—into exile, banishing them to Virginia, where they were held for a year. The event is free to attend but registration is required. Click here to register.

9/28 - Breaking Out of the Food Rut
Are you in a food rut? Do you need inspiration in the kitchen?
Busy schedules often lead to having the same meals day in and day out for ease and convenience. Perhaps you simply repeat the same meals over and over again because you like them. While this may work initially, consistently eating the same foods can become boring and has the potential to lead to unhealthy habits. Join McCaffrey's Registered Dietitian, Jill Kwasny, for an informative and fun nutrition program. Jill will touch on meal planning and food prep hacks in an effort to jazz up your kitchen table. As always, Jill will offer menu ideas, cooking techniques and share a delicious recipe to sample.
Thursday, September 28th at the McCaffrey's in Yardley located at Edgewood Village Shopping Center at 635 Heacock Road in the upstairs bistro from 10:00 – 11:00 am.

9/28 - Cultural Streaming Series –The Art of Chopin
A tribute to the art of Chopin (1810-1849), to his unique and inimitable writing, which prepared the ground for 20th-century music and the modern piano.
The film combines two approaches: the first, narrative in form, chronicles the composer's most creative periods, describing his genius in the context of his era, the pivotal stages in his career, his work methods, existential concerns and musical influences. The other approach, analytical, presents comments from some of the greatest interpreters of his works, among whom Garrick Ohlsson, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Bella Davidovitch, Piotr Anderszewski, Evgeny Kissin and Yuja Wang.
