Tour A 1830s Stone Mansion On Pelham Bay

Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum is a landmark estate on Shore Road in the Bronx, where staff-guided and self-guided tours move through all three floors of an 1830s stone mansion. The rooms hold well-preserved interiors and period details, from carved furniture to family portraits. On a quiet afternoon, a single visitor can end up with a one-on-one walk-through of the house and its collection. Outside, restored gardens, terraced lawns, and a carriage house fill out the grounds, and the whole property keeps an understated, peaceful feel along Pelham Bay.
