Now through the end of the season at Andalusia Historic House, Gardens & Arboretum, visitors can stroll the scenic paths along the Delaware River, pack a picnic lunch, and take in the vivid fall foliage, or take a guided tour of the storied Historic House featuring vintage antique treasures of the Biddle family.
End-of-the-season programming includes Open Saturday Oct. 28, featuring a Fall Tree Tour with Andrew Bunting, vice president of horticulture, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, and Eva Monheim at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. On Nov. 4, guests are invited to Andalusia’s final Open Saturday of the season, the End of Season Fall Festival, including lively nature walks with naturalist Mike Weilbacher, offered at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and local beer for purchase from Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company.
Andalusia is open Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., excluding holidays, through Nov. 3.
The riverside estate and National Historic Landmark is located at 1237 State Road, Andalusia. The Biddle family’s early 19th-century Greek Revival home is situated on a 50-acre sprawling estate, surrounded by stunning native woodlands and spectacular formal gardens.
The Andalusia Foundation was established in 1980 to preserve and maintain the grounds that are home to more than 1,000 trees, including nearly 250 unique specimens and cultivars from around the world.
Admission to tour the gardens is $15 per person. Guided tours of the Historic House are offered at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. and cost $30 per person, including access to the gardens. Tickets are available online or at Andalusia, though advance tickets are recommended for all house tours.
Visitors are encouraged to purchase tickets for Open Saturdays in advance from the Andalusia website with free admission for children under 12. Visit andalusiapa.org for information.
