Book Launch Celebration
Saturday, April 18, 4 to 6 pm
Join us for a reception celebrating the launch of When the Declaration of Independence Was News by Dr. Emily Sneff. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres, followed by a book signing.
Publishing for the 250th anniversary of the United States, When the Declaration of Independence Was News focuses on the nation’s founding document at the moment of its creation in 1776, before anyone knew what the legacy of the Declaration would be or if the United States would win the war against Great Britain. It explores how the Declaration was communicated to people in the new nation and around the Atlantic world and reveals the stories of the many people involved in the process of declaring independence, from printers to soldiers to diplomats to translators.
Historic Trappe’s new exhibition, Window to Revolution: Pennsylvania Germans and the War for Independence, opens the same day. Proceeds from book purchases will support Historic Trappe.
Location: Center for Pennsylvania German Studies at the Dewees Tavern, 301 W. Main Street, Trappe, PA

Prisoners of Congress: Philadelphia's Quakers in Exile, 1777-1778
Lecture by Ned Donoghue
Tuesday, May 19 at 7 pm
In 1777, Congress labeled Quakers who would not take up arms in support of the War of Independence as “the most Dangerous Enemies America knows” and ordered Pennsylvania and Delaware to apprehend them. In response, Keystone State officials sent twenty men—seventeen of whom were Quakers—into exile, banishing them to Virginia, where they were held for a year.
Historian Ned Donoghue's book Prisoners of Congress reconstructs this moment in American history through the experiences of four families: the Drinkers, the Fishers, the Pembertons, and the Gilpins. Identifying them as the new nation’s first political prisoners, Donoghue relates how the Quakers, once the preeminent power in Pennsylvania and an integral constituency of the colonies and early republic, came to be reviled by patriots who saw refusal to fight the English as borderline sedition.
Surprising, vital, and vividly told, this narrative of political and literal warfare waged by the United States against a pacifist religious group during the Revolutionary War era sheds new light on an essential aspect of American history. It will appeal to anyone interested in learning more about the nation’s founding and likely spark key conversations about current events.

His talk will explore each man's significance not only in the context of America and Germany but in the larger context of Atlantic history.

Participants will sgraffito decorate 7” or 10″ redware plates coated with white clay slip; limit of 2 plates as time permits. The plates, all necessary tools, and books for ideas will be provided (feel free to bring your own ideas, too). After the workshop, the plates will be dried, glazed, and fired (process takes 4-5 weeks). Participants will be notified when their plates are ready and can be picked up at the Dewees Tavern.

A Visit With...Martha Washington
Tuesday, February 17 at 7 pm
George Washington is rightfully known as “the indispensable man.” However, few people really know the “worthy partner” who supported him through the long War of Independence. Lady Washington followed her husband to every winter encampment during the war, and then into the most powerful residence in the new nation, the President’s House in Philadelphia. As the “first” of our founding mothers, Martha Washington’s influence still resounds with us today.
Carol Spacht performs extensively in the Philadelphia region, presenting interactive programs to schools, libraries, and civic organizations. Her portrayal of Martha Washington has taken her from Valley Forge Park to the National Portrait Gallery. Carol also appears regularly as our nation’s premier flag maker at the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia. She is an experienced maker of handsewn historic bed furnishings and led “The Naked Bed Project” at Historic Trappe for the Dietrich American Foundation. Carol is currently working with Historic Trappe on "The Naked Bed 2.0: Dressing the Revolution" funded by the Coby Foundation.
