Grange Estate — Attraction in Haverford Township

Really nice place to visit. The grounds are pet friendly and trails are well kept. Plan on visiting this weekend to see Xmas decoration and train display. We managed to get to the Xmas display this weekend. What a surprise. The barn had the train display which was great. All kind of trains ran on different platforms with Xmas houses every where. Such a fantasy world. It made me feel like a child again. Then we visited the mansion. What surprise.

It's so nice to know that it was well maintained and still...

The Grange is 2 parts: The park, and the estate. The park is large with lots of things to do. There's freshly finished basketball and pickleball courts, tennis courts, baseball fields, football field, jungle gym/swings for the kids, and a large paved picnic area. It's one of the best parks in the area... The Estate is equally charming with a church, manse, gardens, and trails.
