If you're here... either Dylan thought you would find this hilarious... or we sent you the wrong invitation.
Either way, hilarity ensues...
Grumblethorpe
5267 Germantown Ave
Philadelphia, PA 19144-2328
Phone: (215) 843-4820
$5, $4 Students and Seniors, $3 per person for groups of ten or more, $12 Family, free for members and children 6 and under.
Tue, Thur, Sun 1pm- 4pm
Over 160 years of family history under one roof.
In Short
Built in 1744 as a summer home for the influential Wister family of merchants and wine importers, Grumblethorpe now offers a unique glimpse into the lifestyles of the rich and famous of centuries past. Guided tours led by the home's caretaker are informal but very informative, with storytelling about the family's pastimes (meteorology and horticulture among them), social status (Benjamin Franklin was a good friend and tenant) and even some recent ghost sightings.
Fun Fact
Much of the house is still in its original state, right down to the wooden floorboards that are stained with the blood of General James Agnew, who died at Grumblethorpe after being fatally wounded in the Battle of Germantown.
