Upcoming trip to the Mercer Museum

We will soon be tacking the short trip Doylestown to visit one of the premier vintage collections in America. Located in a mammoth poured concrete building once owned by Henry C. Mercer to store his collection of handmade objects and machines. His goal was to keep in tact a lifestyle which was rapidly being taken over by modern machinery and lifestyles.

Henry Mercer was Born in Doylestown, Pennsylvania and educated at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. Mercer himself was as interesting as his collection, being among other things an archaeologist, anthropologist, ceramist, and antique collector.
