The construction of the original manor was an expression of Penn’s belief that life in the country was more wholesome than in the worldly atmosphere of crowded cities. Pennsbury Manor is filled with the spirit of this kindly, devout humanitarian, and it gives the visitor a sense of the unhurried grace and charm of those years when Pennsylvania was William Penn’s “Holy Experiment.” Pennsbury Manor, like so many historic sites, was lost to posterity through neglect; but, unlike many others, it has been restored. Painstaking research went into its restoration, and today the prim-fronted, three-storied, brick manor-house, rebuilt on the original foundations, stands once more on the point of land formed by the Delaware River between Morrisville and Bristol. Today the site offers special events for all ages, school tours and educational programs.
