Appleford/Parsons-Banks Arboretum (24 acres) is a non-profit arboretum and country estate located at 770 Mount Moro Road Villanova Pennsylvania.Appelford began in 1682 with William Penn’s grant of 100 acres (0.40 km2) to James Moore. In 1728 Robert Jones erected a one-story stone farmhouse on the site parts of which still stand. The house was enlarged and updated over the years and the property grew to be as large as 800 acres (3.2 km2) before it was broken up circa 1900.
