Pennsbury Manor
Encyclopedia : P : PE : PEN : Pennsbury Manor
Pennsbury Manor, located in Morrisville, Pennsylvania, was the home of William Penn, founder and first governor of Pennsylvania.
It is located along the banks of the Delaware River, between the river proper and Van Sciver Lake. Construction at Pennsbury was begun soon after Penn's arrival in the colony in 1682. Penn's plan was to establish the sort of gentleman's country estate that had been his home in England. In addition to a spacious house, there were to be separate buildings for baking and brewing, a large stable, a boathouse, and numerous farm buildings. [link]
