Historic Rittenhouse Town


Historic Rittenhouse Town

The Birthplace of Paper in the United States!

A thriving early industrial community, Historic Rittenhouse Town was the home of the first paper mill in British North America.  Built in the early 18th century, Rittenhouse was linked to the early settlement at Germantown, and was filled with people, horses and wagons.  Throughout the year, many events are held at Rittenhouse, including their infamous paper-making workshops.

 

You can go on a public weekend tour through this Philly historic village, take part in an educational program, or simple stop by and check it out on your own. Before you leave, make sure to stop in at their gift shop for all types of historical souvenirs!
