1. The Farmhouse
The land known as Tamanend Park was first sold by William Penn to John Martin. The property passed through several owners before being sold to Richard Leedom in 1713. Richard Leedom was the first owner to actually live in Pennsylvania. It is documented that Richard's son, William, already resided there in 1740 when he acquired the property from his father. Most probably the house was built by Richard for his son William. The property remained in the possession of the Leedom family until 1859.
The oldest part of the farmhouse is the middle section, with the south part dating back to the 1740's. For most of two centuries this house was a tenant farmhouse with the owner living elsewhere. Typical of houses of the time, it is just one room from front to back and the big fireplace retains an iron door for a bake oven. After World War 1, William and Mary Long made it their residence, repairing and remodeling it.
2. Stone Springhouse
The stone springhouse supplied pure, cold water for man and beast, and it was used as a refrigerator for eggs, milk and butter. A cement slab at the farmhouse covers the old, round dug well. Water from the springhouse flows through a brook to Tamanend Pond and Creek.

[1] Although there are no actual records of the treaty negotiated between William Penn and the Lenni Lenape, the traditional account says that Tamanend was one of the main leaders at the time. There are only a handful of records from his lifetime. In May 1683 Penn traveled to an Indian village called Perkasie in present day Bucks County. Tamanend and his son, Yaqueekhon, received Penn with a feast of venison, roasted acorns, and boiled hominy. In June 23, 1683 William Penn received a deed for the land lying along and between the Neshaminy and Penny Creeks "for ye consideration of so much wampum, guns, shoes, stockings, looking glasses, blankets and ogoods as ye sd William Penn shall please to give un
