Celebrate Pennsylvania’s 344rd Birthday with Free Admission to Bushy Run Battlefield.

Join the Bushy Run Battlefield Heritage Society for our Annual Charter Day Celebration! Pennsylvania was created when England’s King Charles II granted a charter to William Penn in 1681. Once each year, the Pennsylvania State Archives exhibits the original document to commemorate this momentous occasion. To help celebrate, Bushy Run Battlefield and other state-owned historical sites join in this celebration with their own Charter Day festivities.

The open house event free to the public. Our lineup includes something fun and educational for all ages.
