Lower Swedish Cabin

Please join us on Saturday, June 22, 2019 for the cabin’s Living History Celebration: 30 Years of the Lower Swedish Cabin’s Restoration (1989 – 2019). The event will be 1PM – 4PM, with a rain date of Sunday, June 23 (the next day). There is no admission fee.

We will have a Native American and Swedes demonstration, games, crafts and refreshments. Parking is scarce, so please consider using the SEPTA Creek Road Station and walking up the road a little to get to the cabin. There is also some parking under the bridge at that station.

Led by historian Kelly Brennan, this tour will visit historic mill sites along these creeks, and see a few mills that were adaptively reused and existing mill houses including tours of Nitre Hall/Lawrence Cabin in Haverford and Paper Mill House in Newtown. You’re welcome to bring a bagged lunch.

There is still lots of work to do! We will periodically post new information here, along with with information on how you can get involved in supporting the organization.
