Molly Woods's land

Pennsylvania · USA · Cemetery

She let her property be used as a hospice and burial ground for wounded Revolutionary soldiers. The place still carries her name.

The land here at Langhorne, Pennsylvania belonged to a woman named Molly Woods, and the facility built on it was named after her.

She was a patriot during the Revolution and allowed her property to be used as a makeshift hospice and burial ground for wounded soldiers, because of where it lay.

Bucks County was fought over and marched across repeatedly in that war. Washington crossed the Delaware a few miles from here in December 1776, and the army wintered and moved through this country for years. Wounded men had to be put somewhere, and they were put in private houses and barns.

What is reported here is attributed to them.

The site is now a residential treatment facility for children with behavioural difficulties. They are young people receiving care, and the property is not a place to visit, film or investigate.

It is private and closed.
