Pennypacker Mills

Pennypacker Mills is a Colonial Revival mansion surrounded by 170 acres of farmland located in Perkiomen Township near Schwenksville, Pennsylvania on the shore of the Perkiomen Creek.  Originally built around 1720 by Hans Jost Hite, it was purchased in 1747 by Peter Pennebacker, and remained privately owned by Pennypackers for eight generations.

During the American Revolutionary War, George Washington used Pennypacker Mills in the fall of 1777 as a headquarters prior to the Battle of Germantown.

Thanks!
It was a very neat morning trying to find a spot for this shoot.

Seeing the plumes from the Limerick station gave me some ideas for a future shoot
