Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum
A country mansion, carriage house and formal garden within New York City.
A daytime cultural visit
The house and the collection
A nineteenth-century country house in Pelham Bay Park, Bartow-Pell combines a late Federal exterior with Greek Revival interiors. The formal terraced garden extends the architectural story outdoors.
A guided visit takes in the mansion and carriage house, with fine and decorative arts alongside historic furnishings. Leave time for the grounds rather than treating the house as a quick stop between Manhattan museums.
