Friends of Bolton Mansion

Bolton Mansion has been a fixture in Bristol PA since about 1850. At that time it was a farm and the farmer had a daughter who fell in love with a soldier who enlisted for the Civil War as a way to raise $ to marry & buy land. Unfortunately he was killed and the farmer found out he with held it from her. When the war ended she expected her lover to return & never did & the farmer finally did tell her he had been killed years ago she was so heart broken she threw herself out an upper story window and died as a result of her injuries. Rumor has it that at night, during a full moon you can hear a woman softly crying. To my knowledge it has never been investigated by a paranormal guild but it should be. You can tour the lower floor but the structure is unsafe on the upper floor so no one is allowed there. It would be nice if the funds could be raised to restore it to it’s former grandeur and become a true historical functionable building. Bristol Township should assist in that. The burnum the house is built on is excellent place for sledding in the winter & generations have gone there just for that. A real cool place.
