    "It is not too much to say that this magnificent Bucks County estate of 550 beautiful acres with its splendid buildings and handsome Colonial Mansion of great historical importance is one of the finest gifts the University {of Pennsylvania} has ever received.  It is a fitting memorial to one of Pennsylvania's most loyal sons, Effingham B. Morris, '75, a fine Christian gentleman and citizen of distinguished ability." 
                                    Horace Mather Lippincott, '97 C.  1st, 7th mo., 1946
From the donation of Bolton Mansion to the University of Pennsylvania for its veterinary college in July, 1946.

Bolton Mansion, originally 350 acres, was purchased by William Penn (circa 1687) and built by Phineas Pemberton. The name, "Bolton" came from Pemberton's home in Boulton, Lancashire, England. The Pemberton family eventually merged with the Robert Morris family, who continued the farm.

Gift Shop Needs Items!

The Bolton Mansion "Gift Shop" provides a way for the Mansion to sell donated items in our continuing effort to raise money for restoration of the building.  Having done quite well in recent sales we are in need of new items. Donations of new and/or used giftable items in good condition for the Bolton Gift Shop are requested (i.e., nick-nacks, pictures, antiques, glass, porcelain, pottery, etc).  All donations are tax deductible!
We will be glad to meet you at the Mansion or arrange pick-up of items.
