In preparation for 2026, we commissioned a demographic study to learn who lived in the Perkiomen Region from roughly 1735 to 1835 (from the arrival of Pennsylvania Germans to the final period of the Gradual Abolition Act).

This exhibit will share the answers we have uncovered and the fascinating research methodologies that were used and will be offered to community organizations and schools to have on display. Location: 105 Seminary Street, Pennsburg, PA. This exhibition will be on display from February 2026 through April 2027.

Step back to July 8, 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was read aloud at the very same time in Easton, Trenton, and Philadelphia —a bold and dangerous act of treason against the King of England. But why were these three cities chosen for such a world-changing moment, and how did their citizens react? Join our expert interpreters as we uncover the drama and intrigue behind America’s founding. Guests will begin their day at the Sigal Museum where they will be greeted with an exclusive tour of the “Read This! The History of Media in Northampton County” exhibition. Then, they will hop on a comfortable motorcoach to explore Trenton and Philadelphia. This fascinating journey includes a drive by all three original reading sites, as well as visits to historic treasures like Washington Crossing Historic Park, the 1719 William Trent House, and Christ Church Philadelphia. At each stop, you’ll enjoy a private guided tour and exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences that bring the Revolutionary era to life.

In preparation for 2026, we commissioned a demographic study to learn who lived in the Perkiomen Region from roughly 1735 to 1835 (from the arrival of Pennsylvania Germans to the final period of the Gradual Abolition Act). General knowledge states that the region was primarily settled by white Pennsylvania Germans, but questions arise as to whether any Africans were here too. This exhibit will share the answers we have uncovered and the fascinating research methodologies that were used and will be offered to community organizations and schools to have on display. Location: 105 Seminary Street, Pennsburg, PA. This exhibition will be on display from February 2026 through April 2027.

Step back to July 8, 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was read aloud at the very same time in Easton, Trenton, and Philadelphia —a bold and dangerous act of treason against the King of England.

Guests will begin their day at the Sigal Museum where they will be greeted with an exclusive tour of the “Read This! The History of Media in Northampton County” exhibition. Then, they will hop on a comfortable motorcoach to explore Trenton and Philadelphia. This fascinating journey includes a drive by all three original reading sites, as well as visits to historic treasures like Washington Crossing Historic Park, the 1719 William Trent House, and Christ Church Philadelphia. At each stop, you’ll enjoy a private guided tour and exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences that bring the Revolutionary era to life. We know how the story ends—with the birth of a nation—but now you can walk (and ride) in the footsteps of those who lived it. Tours are scheduled for the second Saturday of the month from November 2025 through December 2026. Tickets: $250 per person | 20% discount for members (includes lunch at the historic Washington Crossing Inn). Reservations are required. Click the link for more information and tickets.

These days we usually associate cigar manufacturing with sunnier and more exotic locations than the Upper Perkiomen Valley. One hundred and twenty years ago, however, the industry was booming here and employed hundreds of men and women in several factories throughout the boroughs.

“Moravians & The Revolution: Caught in the Crossfire” paints a picture of a pacifist pietist community that found itself caught up in a conflict that would ultimately transform its way of life. Moravians in Pennsylvania had to walk a delicate balancing act between their religious ideals of pacifism and the interests of American patriots, the British government, and indigenous groups in the region. As Church leaders worked to maintain peace in their communities, their desire for freedom from entanglements with the outside world was tested during the Revolutionary War. Through rare objects in the collection of the Moravian Historical Society and the stories of European settlers, free and enslaved Africans, and indigenous converts, visitors will discover the experiences of everyday people in the Lehigh Valley’s Moravian settlements during the war. On display February 22, 2026-January 17, 2027. Location: 214 E. Center Street, Nazareth, PA

Have you always wanted to try quilting? Well now’s your chance! Join the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates for a quilt making workshop led by The Hopewell Quilters. Quilts were important in keeping us warm during the winter months. Did you know that colonial quilts were made from one piece of fabric for the top and one for the bottom with batting in the middle? These types of quilts are known as whole cloth quilts. As the years went on the designs became more elaborate on quilts. In the late 1700s and early 1800s girls were supposed to have 13 quilts completed before they were married. Quilting bees were a way for the community to come together and help make quilts. During the workshop on April 26th, participants will make a potholder. The cost for the workshop is $20 for Daniel Boone Homestead Associate members and $25 for non-members. Fabric and supplies will be provided. The workshop is open to participants aged 16-adult and all skill levels are welcome. Space is limited to 15 participants. For more information or to register please contact us by email at: thedanielboonehomestead@gmail.com or call 610-582-4900. Please register by April 16, 2026. The workshop will be held in the DeTurk Education Center at the Daniel Boone Homestead.

In preparation for 2026, we commissioned a demographic study to learn who lived in the Perkiomen Region from roughly 1735 to 1835 (from the arrival of Pennsylvania Germans to the final period of the Gradual Abolition Act). General knowledge states that the region was primarily settled by white Pennsylvania Germans, but questions arise as to whether any Africans were here too. This exhibit will share the answers we have uncovered and the fascinating research methodologies that were used and will be offered to community organizations and schools to have on display. Location: 105 Seminary Street, Pennsburg, PA. This exhibition will be on display from February 2026 through April 2027.

Step back to July 8, 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was read aloud at the very same time in Easton, Trenton, and Philadelphia —a bold and dangerous act of treason against the King of England. But why were these three cities chosen for such a world-changing moment, and how did their citizens react? Join our expert interpreters as we uncover the drama and intrigue behind America’s founding. Guests will begin their day at the Sigal Museum where they will be greeted with an exclusive tour of the “Read This! The History of Media in Northampton County” exhibition. Then, they will hop on a comfortable motorcoach to explore Trenton and Philadelphia. This fascinating journey includes a drive by all three original reading sites, as well as visits to historic treasures like Washington Crossing Historic Park, the 1719 William Trent House, and Christ Church Philadelphia. At each stop, you’ll enjoy a private guided tour and exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences that bring the Revolutionary era to life. We know how the story ends—with the birth of a nation—but now you can walk (and ride) in the footsteps of those who lived it. Tours are scheduled for the second Saturday of the month from November 2025 through December 2026. Tickets: $250 per person | 20% discount for members (includes lunch at the historic Washington Crossing Inn). Reservations are required. Click the link for more information and tickets.
