The Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation is a living history farm in Newtown Square that allows visitors to experience what life was like in the 1700's on a farm.
Newtown Square, Pa -- The Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation is a living history farm tucked away on the grounds of Ridley Creek State Park in Newtown Square.
"It's actually really important for us to shear the sheep once a year. We bred them to hold onto it and so now it's our responsibility to shear it off," said Eva Mergen, Historic Skills Coordinator at Colonial Plantation. They use the same kind of shears you'd see in the 18th century. Mergen says it takes 50 minutes to a little over an hour to shear each sheep.The plantation uses all the wool they shear for their programming, including their education programs where kinds come and learn about 18th century life.
