Historic Trappe - Speaker's House

Born in Trappe in 1750, Frederick Muhlenberg is best known as the first Speaker of the U.S. House of representatives. He was also a pivotal figure in local history, serving as the first president judge, recorder of deeds, and register of wills when Montgomery County was established in 1784. For several years his home in Trappe was a de facto center of government, until Norristown became the official county seat.
