Historic Strawberry Mansion
4.5 (121)museum
4.5 (121)Fairmount Park's largest historic house pairs Greek Revival wings with river views and rooms full of period antiques.
Description
Judge William Lewis originally built the residence around 1783 as a modest Federal-style farmhouse, before the Hemphill family and later owners expanded it in the 19th century. Set on a scenic bluff overlooking the East Park Reservoir, the museum displays collections of porcelain, silver, and items from the neighboring 1876 Centennial Exhibition, alongside regular tours, educational programs, and community events.
