once used as an Indian trail, and later used by local area
residents to deliver goods and produce to Philadelphia. William
Penn himself both designed and set the road's milestones. The
Appleford/Parsons-Banks Arboretum began in 1862 when William

facility is open to the public and showcases historic colonial
furnishings and greenhouses as well as the lavish arboretum
grounds.
