SCHWENKSVILLE, PA—This July, Pennypacker Mills hosts two family-friendly events filled with history, music, and old-fashioned fun.
Porch Performance: Music of the Civil War with Charlie Zahm
Saturday, July 19 at 4:00 p.m.
Journey in song and story through the era of the Civil War with local musician, Charlie Zahm. Zahm calls on his robust baritone, mastery of guitar (and other instruments), and a seasoned approach to the art of entertaining to provide a program enjoyed by all. Joining Zahm will be Tad Marks, a master fiddler who adds another dimension to the performance.
All ages are welcome to attend this free, outdoor performance. Bring a chair or blanket to sit on. The mansion is open for tours prior to the performance, with the last tour beginning at 3:00 p.m. This event is FREE with a suggested donation of $2 per person. This event is sponsored by Friends of Pennypacker Mills.
