ABOUT:

Nestled in Philadelphia’s historic Germantown neighborhood, Rittenhouse Town was once a bustling 19th-century industrial center, fueled by a paper mill that churned out paper from flax crops, this self-contained community housed weavers, farmers, and all the necessary components to turn raw materials into finished products.

Today, Rittenhouse Town stands as a testament to Philadelphia's rich industrial past. Visitors can explore the area's history through tours and events, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of innovation and community.
