Growden Mansion, Colonial manor in Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania, US.
This manor constructed of traditional materials sits along the Neshaminy Creek, featuring an architectural design that reflects English manor houses of the late 17th century.
Joseph Growdon established the estate in 1683 after purchasing 5,000 acres of land directly from William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania colony.
Grace Galloway, daughter of Joseph Growdon, documented the transformation of the property and its role during the American Revolutionary War through her personal writings.
The Historical Society of Bensalem Township maintains the mansion as a museum, offering visitors access to examine colonial architecture and period furnishings.
The property includes a special outbuilding called The Vault, which stored early Bucks County deeds and documents connected to Benjamin Franklin.
