Mullen's Folly Lecture by Jeffrey Ricketts

Join us for a talk by Jeffrey Ricketts about Mullen’s Folly, a log house located in northeastern Cecil County, Maryland. It was built possibly before 1789. It operated as a general store from 1789-1823 servicing the surrounding community with a wide variety of goods sourced in Philadelphia and Wilmington. After 1823, the building was converted into a house. From 1859-2022 the house was owned by four generations of the Berriker-FitzGerald family until it was sold to Jeffrey Ricketts. Jeffrey is currently restoring the building to its late 1700s appearance and is rediscovering all of its lost history. Held at St. Luke's, 200 W. Main Street, Trappe, PA 19426. FREE, including light refreshments. The spring lecture series is sponsored by the Concordia Trust.
