Pop Up Specialty Tour - Women in History at the 1704 House

Though the 1704 House is most often associated with William Brinton, his wife, Jane Brinton, née Thatcher, played a huge role in the development of the property and the local Quaker community - and we actually know more about her personal life than we know about her husband! Find out more about Jane Brinton and early Chester County, Mary and Susana Brinton and the women's suffrage movement, the first practicing female lawyer in Chester County, Isabel Darlington, and Ellen Star Brinton, a pioneer in international relations and humanitarian relief projects.

Discover more about the 1704 House with our Pop Up Specialty Tour series! On select days throughout the summer, stop by the Brinton 1704 House at 1pm to explore a topic outside our normal tour! Great for visitors new and returning alike!
