The Stauffer Schwenkfelder Gallery exhibits tell the story of the Schwenkfelders, beginning with a brief survey of the life of Caspar Schwenckfeld, through the Schwenkfelder journey to Pennsylvania in the 1730s, to settlement and assimilation as new Americans. The gallery features objects interpreting the domestic and spiritual life of the group, including the collection of 14 paint decorated Schwenkfelder chests that were commonly presented to young Schwenkfelder women and men in the 1700s and 1800s.
