Meet Hannah Penn: A Gather Place Reenactor

✨Meet Hannah Penn: Pennsylvania’s First Lady of the Commonwealth

Join us for a compelling and inspiring afternoon as reenactor Ann D’Silva of the Gather Place Museum brings to life the remarkable story of Hannah Penn—the woman who quietly but powerfully helped shape early America.

After the death of her husband, William Penn, Hannah stepped forward to govern the colony, championing religious tolerance, diplomacy, and community leadership. Through immersive storytelling and historically grounded insight, this one-hour program reveals how her 18th-century vision still resonates with today’s ideals of democracy and inclusion. A thoughtful Q&A will follow.

This special presentation is an America 250PA Officially Recognized Program.
