graeme park

Great food, very reasonable prices, CLEAN, Great Service. Excellent to take the family. Can't say enough about what a pleasurable experience it is to dine here.

Always good food and service. It's a BYOB so that is a nice option to save on the cost of drinks while eating out.

This site is a nice meeting place of history and nature. It is not hard to see why this site was chosen for this beautiful old, stone house and estate. There are some nice information boards inside the Graeme House that detail the lives of the former residents. This was the home of a former colonial governor of Pennsylvania, that is, a governor of the state while it was a colony. They explain how the former residents were torn between their duty to the crown, and their feelings towards their neighbors who were pulling away from British rule through the revolution. Benjamin Franklin used to visit here and it is said that Elizabeth Graeme Fergusson, a former owner of the home was one of the best educated women in America at that time.The grounds are beautiful, with tall trees towering overhead and a nice pond out front. Take a picnic lunch with you.Takeaway: There are some nice special events planned periodically at the site including, on September 24 - Homeschool Day -This annual day for homeschoolers features tours of the Keith House and various activities around the grounds, including a hearth cooking demonstration, military drill, colonial games and activities. Admission charged.

If you enjoy looking at historic homes, this one is very pretty but there isn't anything else to see. There is a small trail to walk but the things on the map are thing like maple tree, broken tree etc. I just didn't think it was worth the time

Beautiful park like setting in the middle of a busy suburban setting. Have attended the Christmas house Tour which was educational and enjoyable. Also visited for the WWII reenactment- plenty of action and history. Highly recommend a visit for a special event or a quiet afternoon. Fees are charged for some special events.

From the outside, it looks like just another Pizza place and, yes, it does serve great pizza. But once you open the door to this somewhat ordinary looking establishment, you can throw the word ordinary right out the window – this place is anything but ordinary.The DaCosta family opened Graeme Park in 2002. Ever since this Pizzeria & Café opened, it became an instant hit. Family oriented, BYOB, good food, great service, excellent value – those are the key ingredients to any good restaurant and Graeme Park hits on all cylinders.The DaCosta’s have created an environment that makes you feel like part of the family. And that’s good since it is a family friendly restaurant. The customer comes first here & it is reflected in the friendliness of the waitresses, the busboys, and the management.The food is excellent – good size portions and the menu is varied. Aside from the usual pizzeria fare (pizza, hoagies, cheesesteaks, calzones, burgers - just to name a few of the usual suspects, their dining room (always packed – I highly recommend reservations) serves up some outstanding entrees (all entrees come with a side salad & garlic knots that are delicious). A few of my favorites are the Linguine Puttanesca ($12.95) - Linguini tossed with black olives, capers, anchovies and garlic in a spicy tomato sauce; Shrimp fra Diavolo ($15.95) - Shrimp sautéed in a garlic, fresh basil and spicy marinara sauce served over pasta; Veal Parmigiano ($15.95) - Breaded veal in tomato sauce & mozzarella cheese served over pasta; and Chicken Cacciatore ($14.95) - Chicken sauteed with mushrooms, roasted peppers and onions served in a light marinara sauce over pasta. I define this type of fare as Italian comfort food at its best.I highly recommend Graeme Park. I’ve been there at least 40+ times over the years. It is comfortable, has that home cooked meal feel to it, it is like visiting your favorite relatives. Like I said – Graeme Park is a keeper !!!

I confess that we are a nature loving, geek type family, and if you're the same, Graeme Park is a great stop. I just took my boys for an hour to nap on the picnic tables by the small lake, watch geese, and enjoy the quiet. Bring your own food and equipment, but you'll probably have the place to yourself for a picnic, walk through the woods or frisbee toss.In two weeks, the park will host a WWII reenactment that we went to last year (big band music, lots of WWII set ups, cool war stuff to buy and grown men chasing each other with authentic looking cap guns).Also,one correction. The previous two reviews written were not for Graeme Park. I think these members were reviewing a resturant down the road from the park, but Graeme Park has no resturant or food for sale.

We live in a small, two bedroom condo and consider Graeme Park our summer retreat. My boys catch sunfish in the pond, play in the waterfall and enjoy the special events such as the World War II reenactment and the Celtic festival.When there is no event at the park, it is a quiet retreat where we often find ourselves completely alone. It is a great place for a quiet picnic and has huge grounds to play frisbee or toss a football. It you want to escape the bustle of the suburbs, make Graeme Park your own summer retreat.

Nice place to do a free walkabout. Did not do any tours. Clean and easy to get to. Nicely maintained areas.

Graeme Park is a 42-acre historic park, featuring the Keith House, the only surviving residence of a Colonial Pennsylvania Governor. The mansion has remained virtually intact since the late 18th century. A visit to Graeme Park is nature trails, a picnic lunch, and a visit with reenactors who portray politicians, physicians, patriots, loyalists, poets, and writers who frequented the Keith House. Benjamin Franklin's son William courted Elizabeth Graeme Furgusson with visits to Graeme Park. In the summer of 1756, William proposed to "Betsy". As the daughter of a prosperous Philadelphia physician, Thomas Graeme, and his "man-minded" wife, Anne Diggs Graeme, Elizabeth received a well-rounded education.

This is a lovely, quiet park off busy County Line Road. The grounds are pleasant and you can tour the historic home on the property. This is a little known place and we met some of the hard working members of the Board, one of whom took us on a tour of the interesting, old home. During the year there are special events and festivals--it is best to check ahead to find out about them. A nice pleasant place to visit and spend some time.
