Historic Peachfield — Attraction in Westampton Township

We visited on a rainy Sunday. Not a soul around. Simply one of the most beautiful places to be on a day like that. The grounds are manicured and maintained in a way that speak to the time this plantation was established in the late 1600's, by the Honorable John Skene, Free Mason.

After his death, a Mr. Henry Burr built the beginning of this wonderful home on the property in 1725, with the rest being built in 1732. Aside from a few modern amenities like electricity, this manse likely looks as it did in Mr. Burr's day. What a joy and pleasure to be able to enjoy time here now....
