Andalusia Historic House & Gardens:
Since the turn of the 20th century, many of Philadelphia’s first families built their country estates along the banks of the Delaware River. By river barge or carriage, they came to escape the heat of the summers in the city and to entertain their wealthy and influential guests, of which some were prominent figures in history.
The ancestral home of the Biddle family, Andalusia, has been a stately presence on this stretch of water for more than 225 years. In addition to the Big House, an excellent example of Greek Revival architecture, Andalusia is also a natural paradise of preserved native woodlands and spectacular gardens that are continuously evolving.
Time for Lunch:
After our tour, we’ll enjoy an included lunch at a great local spot.
Gorgeous Grundy Mansion:
One more magnificent mansion to admire, the Grundy Mansion where we’ll take a step inside and experience life in the Victorian Era through the eyes of the Grundy family.
The finest décor of the Gilded Age will surround us along with lovely blooming gardens perfect for wandering.
There will be time to take a stroll along the picturesque Riverfront Park with its splendid vistas and relaxing atmosphere.
