In 1682 Henry Lewis purchased land from William Penn and so begins the story of the Historic Grange Estate. The Lewis family moved from Wales to what is now Haverford Township to find religious freedom. Through out the history of the Grange it was sold to many interesting owners. One which is worth noting is John Ross whose father in law owned the estate during the Revolutionary War. Ross was a major contributor to the war effort which afforded him friendships with Washington, Franklin and Lafayette all who visited the Grange. The estate passed from owner to owner until 1974 when it was put up for auction. Haverford Township bought the estate which included 8 out buildings and 9.9 acres and saved it from the wrecking ball. The Friends of the Grange now run the estate and have discovered the importance of the site in the history of the township, state and country.
