Venue Spotlight: Appleford Estate by Sage Catering

Venue History

Originally part of a land grant from William Penn, Appleford Estate is an example of Pennsylvania farmhouse architecture, which dates back more than 300 years. The lush boxwood gardens, blooming rhododendron bushes, old stone walls, and babbling streams give Appleford a beautiful glow in every season.
