In honor of Memorial Day we ask you to remember the 150 Continental soldiers killed or wounded in the Battle of Whitemarsh that took place in the vicinity of Historic Hope Lodge in December 1777. Four of these soldiers, all unknown, are interred on the grounds of North Penn VFW Post 676 in Glenside.

Thank you to all who visited us on a beautiful day for last week's Colonial Flax to Linen demonstration!

America 250 Event at Hope Lodge: Flax to Linen Demonstration

To celebrate America's Semiquincentennial or 250th Birthday, we are proud to offer a free program: "Flax to Linen".

Did you know…
Flax was an important crop in colonial America. It was cultivated for making durable, everyday textiles before the dominance of cotton in the 19th century. Flax was grown in many colonies, including Virginia, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, as a fundamental household crop. This event shows how flax was planted, harvested, and processed into stricks for spinning fiber into linen and weaving it into linen cloth. There will be samples of spun and woven linen used in the presentation.
