Historic Sugartown

Historic Sugartown is a beautifully restored 19th-century village crossroads located outside of Malvern in Chester County. Named after tavern keeper Eli Shugart, Sugartown became a bustling village corner during the late 1800s, bringing people together to exchange news, conduct business and share their lives as a community. Visitors enjoy a guided tour of the c. 1880 General Store, a 19th-century School Exhibit, the c. 1805 Garrett House, the Book Bindery, and the 19th-century bank barn & agricultural exhibit. Historic Sugartowns Carriage Museum showcases a rare and early collection of carriages and sleighs, including an enormous c. 1800 Conestoga Wagon, in partnership with Chester County Historical Society.
