About Me

Graeme Park: Horsham, Pennsylvania, United States; Graeme Park was built c. 1722 for Sir William Keith, governor of the colony of Pennsylvania from 1717-1726. Keith's son-in-law, Dr. Thomas Graeme, purchased the estate in 1739 and set about updating it with the fine Georgian paneling that can still be seen in the house today. Graeme's daughter, the writer Elizabeth Graeme Fergusson, inherited the estate upon her father's death in 1772. Elizabeth's husband, whom she married in a secret ceremony, served with the British during the Revolutionary War and as a result Graeme Park was confiscated and the majority of Elizabeth's personal property sold at auction. Graeme Park is open to the public Fridays - Sundays and to groups by appointment. Please stop by and see us!
