RSVP by Aug 19

Rittenhousetown Homestead

The venue (located on Rittenhousetown Lane, Philadelphia, PA) was built in 1707 as the family homestead for America's first paper mill. The mill made linen rag paper for over a century, supplying the pages of America's first books, the pamphlets for Quaker abolitionists and the ordinary note paper on which a vision for a new country was first scribbled down. The invitations are mounted on a cardstock version of the same linen rag paper and printed using 18th century block printing. The homestead housed the Rittenhouse family for eight generations and today is managed as a public park.
