Cliveden of the National Trust
Cliveden of the National Trust is an eighteenth-century historic house and the site of the 1777 Battle of Germantown. A National Historic Landmark, the site includes two historic properties on over five acres of green space in Philadelphia's Historic Germantown. Cliveden preserves and interprets over 200 years of American history through the lives of the Chew Family and their staff, both enslaved and in service, and it offers programming for children and adults to connect the past and the present.
Historic Germantown
Historic Germantown is a partnership of 19 historic houses, destinations, and museums in Northwest Philadelphia that have joined together to protect, preserve, and share some of Philadelphia’s prized historical assets. Historic Germantown is where one of Philadelphia’s Revolutionary War Battles was fought, where the first-ever American protest against slavery was written, and where one of the few remaining houses on the Underground Railroad still stands.
Stenton
Built in 1730 as a country house by James Logan—secretary to William Penn—Stenton is known for its early Georgian architecture and outstanding collections of 18th- and 19th-century Logan family furnishings and objects. Since 1899, The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has worked to preserve and maintain Stenton. The Society’s efforts resulted in the Colonial Revival garden, an interpretation of an 18th-century garden; and the History Hunters Youth Reporter Program, which serves over 2,500 Philadelphia schoolchildren each year.
