The Lenape Story and History of Pennsbury Manor
The Lenape people are not just part of history—they are a living, evolving community with deep ties to this region.
As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Pew visited Pennsbury Manor—the reconstructed home of Pennsylvania founder William Penn—to explore the complex history of this place and its enduring connection to the Lenape people, the original inhabitants of the region.
Through Lenape voices and partnerships with descendant communities, Pennsbury Manor is helping expand the story of this historic site beyond its colonial roots and highlight the traditions that continue to shape the Philadelphia region.
