Through his garden at Belfield, Peale commemorated the significant events of the past, immortalized the heroic figures of the present, and laid a sound moral and spiritual foundation for the generations of the future.
Belfields lack of success was limited to the financial only; in terms of health, happiness, and support of family--and the many other things Peale valued more than profit--Belfield flourished.
Belfield remained in this family and descended to Daniel Blain Jr., from whom La Salle University purchased it in 1984.
