The Highlands Mansion and Gardens in Fort Washington, PA is a historic site featuring a late 18th-century Georgian mansion set amidst a two-acre formal garden. With a fascinating blend of horticulture and architecture, the gardens showcase early 20th-century estate gardening, enclosed by grand stone walls. The property boasts nine outbuildings including a bank barn, springhouse, greenhouse, smokehouse, and a charming Gothic Revival gardener's cottage.
Since October 2001, The Highlands Historical Society has been diligently restoring the 2-acre formal garden to reflect its original 1925 - 1935 appearance. Recent restoration projects include the mansion, gardener's cottage, formal gardens, and the north lawn. Visitors are welcome to explore the grounds and gardens from dawn to dusk daily, while guided tours of the mansion are available by appointment on select weekdays.
