Graeme Park451

Graeme Park, a 42-acre state-owned historic site, is home to the Keith House, a National Historic Landmark and the only surviving residence of a colonial Pennsylvania governor, Sir William Keith. The mansion has remained virtually intact since the late 18th century, and is rich with local history from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Guided tours of the home are available.

The grounds of Graeme Park provide a beautiful setting for an afternoon outdoors. Follow trails through the surrounding wetlands and fields, and keep an eye out for local wildlife like the Great Blue Huron, wild turkey, hawks, and white-tailed deer. Guests can stop for a picnic lunch at tables beside the pond, and parents can relax while the kids chase frogs and admire the ducks.

Each summer, Graeme Park hosts a five-day Colonial Living Camp designed to make history fun for kids entering fourth through sixth grades. The program includes Colonial-themed activities such as making redware pottery, Colonial games, learning to play the tin whistle, milking a cow, Colonial school, a militia encampment, Colonial chores, and basket making. Details and camp registration are available by phone or via email.
