Underground Railroad Museum

Spacious meeting area with beautiful grounds and scenery.

Due to the pandemic, we could only hold a small, outdoor wedding - limited to 50 people. Belmont Mansion not only provided top tier health precautions, they also worked with us to ensure all guests remained safe. With signage, a gatehouse guard, and conference calls before hand, the staff of the Belmont Mansion helped us achieve a fairy tale wedding. For the price and views of the city, this is a venue everyone should use.

This museum is located 6 miles from city center and overlooks the beautiful skyline of Philadelphia. Here liberated slaves arrived under cover of night arrived despite great danger to find safe haven in the Belmont Mansion's attic enroute the freedom. The exhibits were primarily recorded testimonials of slaves' reflections during their times living in slavery. The main house focuses more on the abolitionists' efforts and the role of the Peters' family and the use of their property for the Underground Railroad. I hope the museum will continue to improve w funding for expansion and upkeep. I only wished there were personal tours rather than self guided ones.
