Gloria Dei Old Swedes Episcopal Church
Episcopal church
👍👍 A beautiful, historic church and cemetery in Philadelphia. The grounds are lovely and maintained. There are graves that date back to the 1600’s, which is amazing. They often have events there, including flea markets and festivals. It’s a great place to go and relax and think. They hold weddings and...

Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion
Museum
👍 Love a good historic house tour. This one is tucked into the very impressive Tulpehocken neighborhood in Germantown. The quality of the reproduction wallpaper furniture etc. was on the lower end of what you would typically see. However, the house is still pretty amazing and the historical education...

Laurel Hill Mansion

👍👍 We came here for the Cider fest in October, which included a tour of all the mansions in the area. I really enjoyed all of them and the tours each house offered. They were all unique and had really fascinating bits of furniture and history. It would be a good place to come if visiting for a few days...

The Cliffs
Historical place
👍👍 Cool place to snap some shots if you're into this type of eye candy. Just note: the map was suggesting me a route which involved some serious courage including climbing a wall and crossing a bunch of train tracks (It is possible and the trains don't seem to come often). In reality the whole area is...

Lemon Hill Mansion
Historical place
👍👍 This is a very nice preserved home in the beautiful Fairmount Park. It was named Lemon Hill because of the lemon trees that once lined the property. There were once greenhouses along the property as well. Come on out! Check out the houses. The only thing that sucks is that they have placed a fence a...

Paper mill
😠 Beautiful trailhead, unfortunately in the 25 minutes I was here my car was broken into and I had all my belongings stolen. I wouldn’t park here and think signs should be put up saying not to leave any belongings in your car so that at the very least visitors are warned. Cops said it is a common occ...

Park
👍 This forgotten park, now threatened by development, contains great lengths of walking trails and some ruins can even be seen across the property. The stairway built by the City in 1917, located at by the retaining walls at Fountain & Smick, is has fallen into ruin as well and is overrun with brush a...
