Considered among the most significant architectural examples of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century homes in the United States, the Fairmount Park Houses perfectly illustrate the styles, furnishings, and domestic lives of the time.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art currently administers two of these colonial houses, Mount Pleasant and Cedar Grove. Visits to these two houses are free for Museum members. Other houses in the park are preserved and maintained by various private and civic organizations. They include Laurel Hill, Woodford, Lemon Hill, Strawberry Mansion, and Sweetbriar.

These extraordinary homes provide the visitor with a unique glimpse into Philadelphia's rich cultural history. Discover more at www.fairmountparkhouses.org.
