Free Tours at Stenton Museum

The International Day of Monuments and Sites recognizes the cultural significance of important landmarks and sites of observance. Philadelphia is home to 67 National Historic Landmarks, and Stenton is one of them! In celebration of this day, Stenton will offer free tours on the half hour from 1:00 to 4:00 PM on April 19th.

Stenton is one of the earliest, best-preserved, and most authentic historic houses in Philadelphia. Built in 1730 for James Logan, secretary to William Penn, the site explores stories of six generations of the Logan family alongside those of enslaved, indentured, and free laborers—including Dinah, who lived and worked at Stenton for over 50 years. Visitors will enjoy an unparalleled glimpse into early Pennsylvania history, through rooms furnished with original 18th- and 19th-century Logan family objects.
