About this organization
About
Friends of the Grange provides financial support to the the historic Grange Estate, living history in Havertown, PA. It is the vision of John Ashhurst which is preserved and represented at The Grange today. John Ashhurst died in 1892. His two sons shared in his estate. John Jr continued residence in the current mansion until his death in 1900. The property was uninhabited for an extended period. Title to the house and 86 acres was taken by Benjamin R Hoffman in September 1913. Mr. Hoffman, who created his wealth in real estate,did not take up residence at The Grange until his marriage to Margaret Clawson in 1922 when they began rehabilitating the estate. After Benjamin suffered financial reverses during the Depression, the property was put up for sheriff’s sale and Margaret Hoffman repurchased the 9.97 acres that exist today, including the house, gardens, and most outbuildings. Upon Margaret Hoffman’s death in 1973, the estate was bequeathed to two nephews. Benjamin H. Barnett, Sr. sold The Grange to the Township of Haverford in 1974.
