    About this ebook

    King of Prussia hosts over 10 million visitors annually. This is quite a change from the little town once described as resembling an English hamlet. By 1762, King of Prussia had already become an area of strategic importance. Only a day s ride from Philadelphia, it was often used as a staging area for travelers heading west.

    J. Michael Morrison

    J. Michael Morrison has spent many years compiling stories, artifacts, and photographs of King of Prussia, carrying on the legacy of his grandparents, who settled there in the 1920s. His background in architectural design and historic restoration has given him a unique perspective of historic locations that have been lost to progress, and his aim is to help keep them alive for the future.
