Leiper House is Decked for the Holidays!

Local garden clubs have lent their considerable talents to beautifully decorating Leiper House for the holidays. Swarthmore Garden Club, Providence Garden Club, Rose Tree Garden Club, Springfield Garden Club, and Country Gardeners have each embellished a room in the historic country home of Thomas and Elizabeth Gray Leiper.

Built circa 1785, the estate was named Strath Haven after Leiper’s birthplace in Strathaven, Scotland, and includes a three-story mansion house and several outbuildings. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

Saturdays & Sundays, 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, December 2 – 17
