Abram’s Delight

Abram’s Delight is the oldest home in Winchester. 582 acres of land was granted to Abraham Hollingsworth in 1734. The first log house on the site was replaced by the present stone structure built in 1754 by Isaac Hollingsworth, a Quaker, son of Abraham. Family heirlooms and original objects from the mid 18th and early 19th century furnish the home of one of Winchester's most prominent families.

Marker can be reached from the intersection of South Pleasant Valley Road and Milwood Avenue (Business U.S. 17/50), on the right when traveling north.
