Glen Foerd 2nd Saturday Guided Tour

About this event

We'll visit the Glen Foerd estate on the Delaware River and participate in their 2nd Saturday guided tour. From their website (https://www.glenfoerd.org/): Glen Foerd stewards an eclectic riverfront estate for the enjoyment and educational benefit of the community. Drawing from the estate’s architecture, art, material culture, and history—as well as its gardens and waterways—Glen Foerd provides inclusive experiences that spark curiosity and support Philadelphia’s natural and cultural ecosystems. We'll experience the rich history of Glen Foerd with a guided tour of the Main House. This engaging and relaxing walk will provide insight into local history while connecting you to the natural space of the Delaware River watershed. Learn how this area of Philadelphia has developed from the Lenape to the Gilded Age. Get a glimpse of the two families that called Glen Foerd home from 1850 to 1971. Registration is required and general admission tickets are $10. Please buy your tickets in advance here (https://glenfoerd.secure.nonprofitsoapbox.com/2nd-saturday-guided-tour-11-14).
