About Parry Mansion Museum - New Hope Historical Society

The Parry Mansion Museum, maintained by the New Hope Historical Society, is an eighteenth-century Georgian-style home where visitors tour the elegant residence built in 1784 and owned by Benjamin Parry and his descendants. The mansion sits in New Hope's historic district across from the Parry Barn, another preserved structure. Guests can explore the Museum Exhibit Space, which hosts rotating exhibitions including the Artist Spotlight series featuring works by prominent artists celebrating creativity, history, and place. The Historical Society connects visitors to New Hope's past through its archives and collections documenting the town's evolution from its Revolutionary roots. Guided walking tours of New Hope depart from the mansion's back porch, divided into five themed segments covering fifty-year chapters of the community's history. These tours and mansion visits suit history enthusiasts and those interested in architectural preservation and local heritage. Tickets are sold online through the venue's website.
