Belmont Mansion

Belmont Mansion is a historic estate in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park, where Founding Fathers including George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison once visited, and where Judge Richard Peters hosted his close friend the Marquis de Lafayette. The estate is also home to the Underground Railroad Museum, which tells the story of Cornelia Wells and Belmont's role as a place of safekeeping for those seeking freedom from the Antebellum South. Today the mansion hosts weddings, corporate gatherings, and milestone celebrations across two rentable spaces, the Cornelia Wells Ballroom and the Tent Pavilion, with grounds that open onto views of the Philadelphia skyline. An events team is available for consultations to help plan life's special moments against the estate's backdrop of history and elegance.
