Estate and garden of famous Philadelphia lawyer Andrew Hamilton. The Woodlands' 54-acre undulating landscape is at once a one-of-a-kind 18th-century English pleasure garden, 19th-century rural cemetery, and a modern green oasis for its neighbors in bustling University City and West Philadelphia. The Woodlands was designated a National Historic Landmark District in recognition of its unique history and rich resources. The burial ground located at the Woodlands is still active, where a popular program lets volunteers adopt a grave and plant Victorian-era plants.
