Elkins Estate

Posted on October 23, 2009 by Ashley

If you have not done so yet, I would highly recommend taking a tour of the Elkins Estate. We were lucky enough to take a tour of the estate last week with the Cheltenham EAC and found that the property is an oasis of rolling green hills and majestic architecture tucked into the northeast corner of the TTF Watershed.

The 42 acre property is also the headwaters for one of the unnamed tributaries to the Tookany Creek. The lush estate helps protect and clean the water of the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford creek, making the Elkins Estate an important partner for TTF.

We look forward to working with the Estate in the future!
