1776 Annual Peace Conference Celebration at Conference House Park

History comes to life every September when the Conference House Association commemorates the 1776 Peace Conference which was held in the historic Conference House.

Various 18th century craftspeople demonstrate Colonial era trades such as woodworking, coopering, tin smithing, beekeeping, chair caning, quilt making spinning and weaving. Visitors see demonstrations and learn about various crafts.

Among other activities children have the opportunity to make kites (in homage to Ben Franklin) and to try their hand at the art of calligraphic writing.
