Welcome to the Parry Mansion
Built around 1784 by Benjamin Parry, whose rebuilt New Hope Mill gave our town its name, the Parry Mansion has stood at the heart of New Hope for more than two centuries. Today its rooms are furnished to reflect five distinct periods of American decorative arts, many with original Parry family furniture and objects.
Since 1958, the New Hope Historical Society has worked to preserve and share our town’s story. We cared for the Mansion after acquiring it in 1966, and today we connect past, present and future through tours, archives, research, education and community programs.
Upcoming Events
Fall Foliage Walking Tour
October 24
Once again this year, New Hope and it fall colors are expected to be highlights for autumn lovers! The New Hope Historical Society’s annual Fall Foliage Walking Tour, one of the most popular attractions of the season, will take place Saturday, Oct. 24 at 1:00 PM.
The tour includes some of the most picturesque settings in Bucks County. Roy Ziegler, past president and current member of the society’s board of directors, will begin the guided tour at the original Parry Mansion at 45 S. Main St., New Hope. Rounding out the tour, a rare glimpse of the 1740s Paxson-Rhoads Homestead will take visitors past Marsha Brown’s to see where George Washington’s army encamped before crossing the Delaware River.
