Pennypacker Mills
Pennypacker Mills is a Colonial Revival mansion surrounded by of farmland located in Perkiomen Township near Schwenksville, Pennsylvania on the shore of the Perkiomen Creek, approximately northwest of Philadelphia. Originally built around 1720, it was purchased in 1747 by Peter Pennypacker, and remained privately owned by Pennypackers for eight generations. In 1976, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
During the American Revolutionary War, George Washington used Pennepacker Mills in 1777 as a headquarters prior to the Battle of Germantown, and also as a field hospital for injured soldiers after the battle.
Pennsylvania governor Samuel Pennypacker made the Mills his summer home in the early 1900s, and lived there for much of his term in office (1903–1907). He was an avid collector of antiques and manuscripts, and many of these can still be found on display at the Mills, along with letters and orders written by George Washington.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pa-montgomerycounty.civicplus.com/DocumentCenter/View/3450 )〕
