Has anyone heard of this club near Philly - Circa 1715

[baspinall]

A club was formed called the Bachelors' Club, situate on the Delaware shore above Gunners' Run. This was the first country club adjacent to the city. "Bachelors' Hall," as it was commonly called, was made notorious by its festivities.

Would love to hunt down this site. Brian

Yo B,
Here is what I have...

The first botanic garden, for the cultivation of plants having medicinal properties, was established at Bachelor's Hall, Kensington, in the neighborhood of the present Allen and Shackamaxon Streets.
