The Harriton House and the surrounding estate grounds offer a historic park experience in Bryn Mawr. Occupancy of the house dates back more than 300 years, originating with the purchase of the land by a group of Quakers from William Penn in 1682. Daily visits and tours are welcome, and school field trips and educational tours are available with advance notice. In addition, the house hosts a number of community activities throughout the year, such as ice cream socials, apple tastings and private chef events.
