This hands-on colonial craft fair is a great destination for the whole family, complete with craft demonstrations, house tours, a military reenactment and open-hearth cooking. Held at the Peter Wentz Farmstead, this German farm has an interesting history worth noting.

The Wentzes, as part of the great migration of Germans to in the 18th century, built a large stone home in 1758. It became famous as George Washington’s headquarters during his attempt to keep the British out of Philadelphia in fall, 1777. The descendants of minister Melchior Schultz lived here from 1794-1969 when Montgomery County purchased the property.
