Scientific Dating Project Reveals Construction Date of Historic Growden Mansion
Mayor DiGirolamo, along with Bensalem Township, Bensalem Historical Society, and Clint Flack from the Mercer Museum, received major news about Growden Mansion today.
Mike Cuba of the Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory scientifically confirms Growden Mansion was built in 1742 in an announcement today the historic site. The felling of some trees can be dated back to winter of 1741 through Spring of 1742. Given the size of the timber and distance from a local saw mill, it is very likely the trees were cut down on the actual property and used to build the structures standing today. More information is needed to accurately date the Gibbs house on site which is at least as old as the other structures, and we are hoping to dig deeper over the next year.
This official finding aids in the historical relevance of the Growden property and Bensalem Township through the revolutionary war along with many other important interactions as such with the Galloways, Benjamin Franklin, and more.
The Township is proud to have preserved and to continue to explore such an import part of American history right here in our backyard.
