Write your notes with a piece of history! These pens are hand made here at Harriton and have lathe-turned boxwood barrels from English boxwood shrubs. The bushes were first planted at Longmeadow House in Gladwyne and then moved here to Harriton in the 1930's. We are told that the plants originated at a castle in England more than a century ago. The bushes grew here at Harriton for 50 years and were enormous shrubs even into the mid 1980's. Unfortunately, a virus weakened and eventually killed the shrubs. The 4" & 5" trunks were harvested, the ends were waxed, and the blocks then placed in the loft to season. Some pieces have been drying for more than 15 years, nearly long enough to age Scotch whiskey! The silky smooth boxwood is finished and polished with beeswax from the beehives here at Harriton. Fountain pens come with a package of refill cartridges; a pump style refill is also available for an additional $5.00.

We learn about Martha Washington’s contributions at Valley Forge, the Washington’s well-known slave-chef Hercules and visit Jefferson’s Monticello to walk through his gardens and cook in his kitchen!"
