Wissahickon Creek defines the setting of Whitemarsh Township — its wooded corridor runs through this Montgomery County community northwest of Philadelphia. The Schuylkill River forms part of the township’s southwestern boundary, while residential districts, parks and major road links place it firmly within the Philadelphia suburbs. Whitemarsh also has a place in the American Revolution: George Washington’s Continental Army encamped here in 1777. Hope Lodge, a Georgian country house built in 1743, preserves the atmosphere of colonial Pennsylvania’s estate landscape.
