12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Cliveden’s tour season begins Thursday, May 1st at 12pm! View our exhibit The Turmoil of Transition: The mid-nineteenth century at Cliveden:
Enter Cliveden as it was in the mid-nineteenth century – a household in turmoil and mourning over the death of husband and father, Benjamin Chew, Jr. This exhibit explores mourning practices, household dynamics, substance abuse and violence, exacerbated by societal shifts of the mid-19th century and still relevant today.
Tours are available Thursdays through Sundays, from May to Thanksgiving. Tours begin on the hour, with the last tour of the day staring at 3pm. Visitors should come to the Cliveden Barn (98 E. Cliveden Street, 19119) to meet a Cliveden Interpreter and begin a tour.
Tours can be scheduled in advance! Visit clivden.org/tours/ and use the online form to schedule your tour today. Tours can also be requested in person on tour days.
*Note: Tours of the first floor of the house only will be available on May 3rd during Mt. Airy Day.*
