Appleford is a handsome
example of early Pennsylvania architecture,
dating from 1705, with additions by renowned
early restoration architect, Richardson Brognard
Okie. Situated on a 22-acre arboretum and
bird sanctuary, the estate was originally
part of a 1692 land grant from William Penn.
Thomas Sears, landscape architect, was engaged
to design the gardens, ponds and waterfalls
that give the property its distinguished
attraction and charm. In addition to the
beauty of its surroundings, the Appleford
mansion contains many important antique furnishings.
