Hope Lodge Historic Site

The site is temporarily closed, due to commonwealth cutbacks in funding. We are committed to continuing our programming while we work on plans moving forward. Visit our Hope for the Future section.

Visit Hope Lodge, near Philadelphia, and enjoy seeing two historic time periods side by side. Some rooms are furnished in the Colonial style (1743-1770). Other rooms are shown in the Colonial Revival style (1922-1953). Hope Lodge is the only house museum in Pennsylvania devoted to these two periods. Also, enjoy the Colonial Revival gardens, walk the grounds, and marvel at the beautiful symmetry of the Georgian mansion set back from the street.
