In my last blog entry I told you about the Michener Museum in Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Today, we will see that I wandered across the street to take a look at the grounds of its neighbor, the Mercer Museum, a six-story reinforced concrete castle designed by Henry Mercer (1856-1930) and completed in 1916. Containing 50,000 pre-Industrial tools, the permanent collection offers visitors a unique window into pre-Industrial America through sixty different crafts and trades, and is one of the world’s most comprehensive portraits of pre-Industrial American material culture.
