Each year in Kulpsville, Pennsylvania to celebrate holiday festivities, the Morgan Log House holds their annual Colonial Candlelight Tour. For a fee, visitors can enjoy a tour of the home which will be decorated in the 18th century tradition. The house was built around 1700. The Towamencin Historical Society has researched the previous owners. In their research, they found that Edward and Elizabeth Morgan, grandparents of Daniel Boone, owned the property from 1708 to 1741. Edward purchases 309 acres of land from Griffith Jones. On the land was a dwelling house.
