Springton Manor Farm is a demonstration farm nestled on 300 acres in beautiful Chester County, PA. The land has been in agricultural use since the early 1700’s when it was a part of a William Penn manor.

The Manor House overlooks the farm and acreage with majestic centuries-old trees. (Photo taken from front of house) “In summertime, the evenings were spent on the front porch, all gathering there. From this porch was a beautiful and extended view, a complete amphitheater. The Welsh Mountains in view nine miles away. Father used to say ‘the air must be pure, for it never touched from the time it left the mountain.’”- Mary McIlvaine, former owner and family member. The Manor House dates back to 1833 and is available to rent for special events, including weddings.

The Butterfly House is open daily from 10a-3p through September 6^th. The goal of the house is to educate the community on the importance of butterflies and how individuals can create their own gardens to help provide habitat for these special creatures.

Family Day will be a fun, fall celebration at Springton Manor Farm so mark your calendar for September 25^th, 11a-3p. Sing, dance, climb, jump and play on the farm. Admission is free. Parking is $5/car.
