The Highlands, Historic mansion and museum in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania
The Highlands features a Georgian style mansion with multiple rooms containing period furnishings and decorative elements that reflect 18th-century American design principles.
The mansion was constructed in 1796 by Anthony Morris, a prominent Philadelphia merchant and politician who served as Speaker of the Pennsylvania Senate.
The mansion's formal gardens incorporate traditional American horticulture methods with structured pathways, native plant collections, and geometric flower bed arrangements.
