If you’re using Google Maps, enter 506 Harriton Road, not 500 Harriton Road. The current address is incorrect and will take you to a Bryn Mawr College building. I pinned the 506 Harriton Road location and reported it to Google as the correct location. Hopefully, someone makes the change soon, so visitors don’t get lost like I did trying to find the place.

Beautiful historic spot they reminds us of the history and industry here---both things of pride (agriculture and self-sufficiency) and of shame (tobacco and slaves in Lower Merion). See blacksmithing demonstrations, visit bees, tour the house, and you'll get a glimpse of how things were during a period of time in our past.

Good place to visit if you're interested in the early history of the USA, especially if you don't want to deal with Philadelphia's traffic. Call in advance if you want a tour of the house rather than simply walking around the grounds. (Those are lovely, but the house is more historical.)

My daughter and I had a lovely tour with Laura today. She was very knowledgeable about the space, the families who had lived there, and answered every arcane and bizarre question we asked. A couple of days earlier, we were able to walk around the grounds and enjoy their tranquility.

If you come and want a tour, you must call and schedule one. Their website merely suggests that you do, but I am here to tell to that you must. Enjoy! Can't wait to do it again the next time I'm in town and learn about the I didn't...
