    08/23/2009 12:00 PM 08/23/2009 03:00 PM America/Anguilla Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793 When yellow fever swept through Phila in 1793 retreats like Graeme Park became important havens. It was this epidemic that prompted Elizabeth Graeme Fergusson's nephew-in-law to take up residence at Graeme Park, which he had purchased in 1791. Not wanting to live as a guest in her old home, his move resulted in Elizabeth leaving for a boarding house in Hatboro. Costumed actors will present vignettes related to yellow fever and the residents of Graeme Park in special tours throughout the day.
