Eppington is a unique virtually untouched example of Palladian architecture. It is a one-of-a-kind classroom for architectural historians and most importantly for our school children. A paint analysis was done to determine the different colors of the inside walls of the house down through the ages.
Eppington was known for its elaborate gardens. Thomas Jefferson referred to Frances Eppes as the first horticulturist in America.
