Parry Mansion Tours

The Parry Mansion (pictured on our masthead) was built in 1784 by Benjamin Parry, one of New Hope's founders. Ever since, the mansion has been occupied by Benjamin Parry's direct descendants until it was purchased by the New Hope Historical Society in 1966.

The furnishings of the 8 rooms reflect 125 years of decorative changes experienced by the Parry family. Each room represents a different time period during which the Parry's occupied the mansion.

For those who love history, the Parry Mansion historical tour should not be missed! Tour guides are trained to offer historical information along with the "stories" that have been passed through generations. Come and share in the rich history of New Hope, Pennsylvania.
