Largest Living History Event of the Year
Charter Day is our largest Living History Day of the season. The Homestead will host military units, both British and French, who will be demonstrating 18th century drill. There will be a Native American on site to answer visitor questions and Charlton Folk Art will be displaying 18th century reproduction folk art. There will be special one day exhibits to view. The Homestead bookstore is full of history based books and we are proud to be able to sell a line of redware products from Robesonia Redware, who crafts heirloom and museum quality redware items. Please come and join us for this opening day of our 2015 season. We hope to have in time for Charter Day redware eggs made especially for the Homestead by Robesonia Redware for 2015. These will be sold exclusively at the Homestead. We also will have on hand the Robesonia Redware Egg of the Year for 2015 for sale also. Hope to see you there.

The Conrad Weiser
Homestead is a Pennsylvania state historic site located in
Womelsdorf, Berks County, Pennsylvania which interprets the
life of Conrad Weiser. Weiser was an 18th century German
immigrant who served as an Indian interpreter and who helped
coordinate Pennsylvania's Indian policy. He played a major
role in the history of colonial Pennsylvania. The Conrad
Weiser Homestead is located on Rt. 422, within easy driving
distance of Philadelphia, Lancaster, Hershey and Harrisburg.
Come and enjoy this rural countryside dotted with the
surviving period stone houses and traditional farms. The
Conrad Weiser Homestead includes period buildings, and a new
orientation exhibit, on a 26-acre Olmsted-designed
landscaped park.
