The Twelfth Night Celebration held each December is wonderful. So authentic. You enter the front of the house and are treated as a visiting guest as your tour the candle lit house. The smells from the kitchen will make you hungry. The cook and helpers are preparing a spectacular feast for Mr Potts and his guest, who you meet all through the house in their party attire.

I went here for special event. There were numerous period demonstrations including Dr. Ben Franklin (actor portrayal), who was excellent in character and very knowledgeable. Its fun to visit here from time to time and see how they change things up for the season/event. The staff and volunteers are friendly, welcoming and eager to share their knowledge. Family friendly, clean restrooms available.

We went for the annual celebration of Twelfth Night. It was a great tour with reenactors that were very knowledgeable about the house and period (mid 1700s). The house was restored in great detail and is a must see for history bluffs. They do other events during the year as well. Cant wait to go back!

Very lovely upper class Colonial home, done in the original style and furnishings. The tour guides are friendly and knowledgeable. There was an authentic demo of candy and sweets making in kitchen area, done by costumed re-enactors. My friend and had a very pleasant afternoon, all for suggested donation price of $2.00. That is a bargin for anyone.

On a whim I stopped and visited the Pottsgrove Manor and Im so glad I did. The house is immaculately restored right down to the same original colors used in 1750. And better yet, the staff were extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. The staffs deep knowledge of history extends well beyond the house. They place the house in the context of the history of the era which makes it so much more informative and interesting. Anyone with the slightest interest in our history should visit, youll learn so much; I highly recommend it!!

Pottsgrove Manor, also known as the John Potts House, is a historic home located at Pottstown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1752 by John Potts, and is a large two-story, rectangular, sandstone and fieldstone building in the Georgian style. It has a five-bay front facade, gable roof, and a center hall plan. The service wing was added 1790–1805, and the rebuilt east wing was built 1941–1952 during a restoration. It is open to the public as an 18th-century historic house museum owned by Montgomery County.

The staff are really friendly and knowledgeable at this circa 1752 home. The tours about an hour long and really interesting. They actually have a cook making meals over a fire in the fireplace in the kitchen (at least they did today).
