Barge
Penn's preferred method of travel was by the river, on a favorite barge (of which he left meticulous instructions for it's care). This is a recreation of Penn's transportation - it could make the journey to Philadelphia in four hours. That was quite a feat in those days!
Some of the guides said the river voyage to Philly was 2 hours. So either they were mistaken or the description on this display referred to a round trip.
