About the Andalusia Historic House, Gardens & Arboretum
Andalusia Historic House, Gardens & Arboretum is a museum, park, and tourist attraction located at 1237 State Road in Andalusia, Pennsylvania, United States. Situated on a wooded promontory overlooking the Delaware River, this institution has been a stately presence for over 225 years. It was the ancestral home of the influential Biddle family and is now a natural paradise with preserved woodlands and beautiful gardens that are constantly evolving.
The centerpiece of the property is the Big House, a stunning example of Greek Revival architecture that has been placed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks. Opened to the public in 1980, visitors can explore the mansion and learn about the family's history and the nation's past.
Guests can enjoy self-guided tours of the formal gardens and native woodlands, take in the sweeping views of the Delaware River, and visit the country home of Nicholas Biddle, President of the Second Bank of the United States. The estate was originally purchased in 1795 by John Craig, a Philadelphia merchant, who named it Andalusia after his business ventures in Spain and the Spanish colonies. It was later transformed into a tranquil and stunning destination by his daughter, Jane, and her husband Nicholas Biddle.

Reviews of Andalusia Historic House, Gardens & Arboretum
"I’ve seen so many IG pictures of Andalusia during spring time with blooming wisteria and always wanted to visit it. Well I made it at the last day of the 2023 season. I confirm that fall suits this historical house and gardens as well as spring. It’s is so colourful and cozy! House is beautiful inside, it kept very well and has constant restorations. Check the website before you go, it’s not open for visitors year round and only welcomes visitors few days a week. Tickets for house tour is separate from the garden tour. We paid $60 for 2 (garden+house admission). Not crowded and plenty of parking space."
"Rich thank you for the awesome tour today!! Stunning home rich with history and art."
"Beautiful house & grounds. Tour was ok, but they rushed it on the weekend cause they pack more times in which I didn't appreciate for paying the same money. If you have any respiratory issues the house does smell quite strongly of mildew."
"A hidden gem, or so it seems to me. Wonderful house tour, and spectacular grounds."
"Beautiful place!!! From the well maintained and clearly identified gardens and grounds to perfectly preserved house. Fascinating house tour. So much history."
