Brown Bag: Penn and the Lenape

  • Schwenkfelder Library & Heritage Center 105 Seminary Street Pennsburg, PA 18073 (map)

With the stroke of a “Penn,” King Charles II of England made William Penn the largest land holder in England, yet there were those who already lived and thrived in what was destined to become Pennsylvania. The Lenape people had populated the region for 15–20,000 years. Success for Penn rested in their hands. Learn about their relationship and the tragic unintended consequences of it.  Doug Miller has been running museums for over 35 years. He has served at Curtin Village, Hope Lodge, Graeme Park, Washington’s Crossing, Brandywine battlefield and Pennsbury Manor.
