Bolton Mansion

Pennsylvania · United States · Manor

Sledging on the grounds in winter, they looked up at the top floor window and saw a Revolutionary soldier looking back.

The account from the grounds of Bolton Mansion in Bucks County, Pennsylvania comes from somebody who used to sledge there as a child.

More than once they looked up at the top floor window and saw what was clearly a soldier of the Revolutionary period, looking out.

The grounds themselves carry a feeling of unrest and at times of dread.

There is a further account from a visit inside the house.

A child sledging is the least suspicious witness this archive contains. They were not there at night, not looking for anything, and not old enough to have opinions about what they were seeing. They looked up because you look up.

Bolton Mansion dates to the 1680s, making it one of the oldest buildings in Pennsylvania, and this county was fought across throughout the Revolution.

The house is a preserved historic site.
