Woodford
Benjamin Franklin said that Philadelphia merchant William Coleman, a close personal friend and the first owner of
this quintessential Georgian house, "had the coolest, clearest head, the best heart, and the exactest moral of almost
any man I ever met." No doubt an interesting man if Ben thought so highly of him!
Woodford is best known, however, for its eye-popping decorative arts accumulated primarily by Miss Naomi Wood who
made it her life's work to collect antiques. Come see the fruits of her labor as Woodford celebrates 75 years of
hosting this one-of-a kind collection. Antique Road Show buffs, eat your hearts out!
