Main Line Historical Places

Have you considered the Pennsylvania Main Line Region in the Philadelphia area as a place to make your home? This area is steeped in history. It was once home to the Lenni Lenape Indians. The Main Line was settled by Europeans in the 1600s, when William Penn sold a tract of land (the Welsh Tract) to a group of Welsh Quakers for ten cents an acre.
