New 'Greetings From Schwenksville' Museum Exhibit Opens In Montco

SCHWENKSVILLE, PA — A new exhibit has opened at Pennypacker Mills in Montgomery County, detailing the region's turn of the century history and its former glory as a resort destination.

The exhibit, "Greetings from Schwenksville," is open through Jan. 2022.

"This was the heyday of the Perkiomen Railroad, which boasted four trips a day to bring both people and freight to the area," officials said in announcing the exhibit. "One of the major attractions was the Perkiomen Creek. Some of these images were featured on postcards, stereographs and even plates, including ones of Pennypacker Mills."

Tours are free, with a suggested $2 donation, and can be booked by calling (610) 287-9349 or emailing pennypackermills@montcopa.org.

The historic site is located in the home of former Pennsylvania Gov. Samuel Pennypacker.
