Henry Muhlenberg House
201 W. Main Street | Trappe, PA

The house is furnished with fine examples of Pennsylvania German and Philadelphia furniture, silver, and portraits—many from the Muhlenberg family—owned by Historic Trappe and on loan from Muhlenberg descendants, the Dietrich American Foundation, Wunsch Americana Foundation, and many private collectors and regional institutions.
