In honor of Father’s Day, Historic Trappe is proud to offer a new “Men of the House” tour, focusing on Lutheran minister Henry Muhlenberg and his son, Revolutionary War General Peter Muhlenberg, in their roles as fathers. Join us as we examine the relationship between father and son and how their individual experiences and the times they lived in shaped their approaches to fatherhood. What was expected of them as fathers in early America? How did their roles in religion and politics affect their families?

Join us for a lively and interactive tour of Christ Church Burial Ground, final resting place of some of America’s most influential, and sometimes overlooked, revolutionaries. You'll see the resting places of figures like Benjamin Franklin, Benjamin Rush, George Ross, Joseph Hewes, and Francis Hopkinson, and hear the surprising, inspiring, and quirky stories behind their legacies. Perfect for history buffs, curious minds, and families looking for an educational adventure.
