Graeme Park, near Horsham, Pennsylvania, is the only surviving residence of a colonial Pennsylvania governor. Sir William Keith had the house built in 1722 as a summer residence. The house was later owned by Dr. Thomas Graeme, a prominent citizen of Philadelphia, and then was passed down to his daughter, Elizabeth Ferguson, who was popular in literary circles and hosted some of the earliest salons in America. The guidebook examines the house as High Georgian architecture and recounts the lives of the three main occupants.

The Buried Past presents the most significant archaeological discoveries made in one of America's most historic cities. Based on more than thirty years of intensive archaeological investigations in the greater Philadelphia area, this study contains the first record of many nationally important sites linking archaeological evidence to historical documentation, including Interdependence and Valley Forge National Historical Parks. It provides an archaeological tour through the houses and life-ways of both the great figures and the common people. It reveals how people dined, what vessels and dishes they used, and what their trinkets (and secret sins) were.
