Saturdays at Burnside Overview
The first Saturday of each month from May-October we invite the public to visit Burnside Plantation for historic fun!
Visitors will learn more about our “farm in the city” which has been a part of the Moravian community since 1748. Visitors of all ages can tour the Burnside House and barn and experience colonial cooking demonstrations in the Summer Kitchen.
For a smoother check-in experience, we ask that visitors register online prior to arrival. If you have any questions, please call: (610) 868-6868 or email Charlotte Filiciotto, Manager of Programs and Volunteers.
Families can also enjoy crafts and interactive activities.
