Pennypacker Mills will present the life and times of Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, the youngest and 26th President of the United States, during its outdoor Porch Performance Series.
President Roosevelt viewed himself as an activist and a "steward of the people." He was known for broadly expanding the executive branch and for land conservation. Roosevelt was the first president to win a Nobel Prize and a media leader in shaping public opinion.
Learn more about his presidency and life on Saturday, July 22 at 4 p.m. at Pennypacker Mills at 5 Haldeman Road, Schwenksville. Prior to the performance, the Pennypacker Mansion will be open for tours with the last tour starting at 3 p.m. Please bring a blanket or a chair to sit on during the performance. All ages are welcome, and the event is free.
