Curious about how solar energy and geothermal systems really work and whether they are right for you? Registration is now open for our adult education course focused on home energy efficiency. The course aims to extend many of the lessons learned from designing and building our energy efficient Center to what a homeowner can do in either building a new house or retrofitting an existing home to use energy more efficiently, reduce energy bills and lower impacts on the environment and climate change. The course will consist of six Wednesday evening lectures and three Saturday morning field trips.

Potts And Family: Colonial Consumer Exhibit Opening And Lecture
Visit this historic talk to open the site’s new exhibit, Potts and Family: Colonial Consumers, set to run through Nov. 6.
At 1pm, Elizabeth Jones-Minsinger, a PhD candidate at the University of Delaware History Department’s American Civilization Program, will present “Uncovering Women’s Work: Household Consumption and Production in the Mid Atlantic, 1750-1815.” This lecture will focus on how women in Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania engaged in economic activity—especially the business of shopping—during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
After the lecture, visitors can take a guided tour of the site and the new exhibit. Drawing from an extant 1751-1754 Potts ledger, the exhibit explores how the Potts family interacted with their world through commerce. Far from being a self-sufficient, isolated planation, the residents of Pottsgrove Manor were extensively connected to the bustling port city of Philadelphia. The purchases of foodstuffs, clothing and fabric, school tuition, and the services of laborers that are detailed in the ledger provide fascinating insight into the consumer culture of early Pennsylvania.
Cost: $2, suggested donation.
