Dont let anyone tell you, its not haunted. It is. You might not hear or see ghosts when youre there, but pictures showed otherwise. Take pictures. The hostesses were very informative.
I just walked the grounds but I practically grew up there as my parents met as guides and had been involved in the house for years. Nice to see the carriage house converted to a gift shop.
Plenty of cold beer, good music and shade.
Wasnt open when I arrive, very disappointing. 7/19/2020
This place is a must see. The history of the Mansion is very educational and the inside of the Mansion is so impressive with all the artistic features built in. Its a must see as I said. Come visit and hear the guide tell the story of the Baker family.
I love it cause I love history and its cheap to visit everyone should visit it
Very interesting AND informative
It was a blast!! Enjoyed it.
Baker Mansion embodies the industrial heritage that established Altoona as a center for commerce and the expansion of the railroad. Its a beautifully restored private home. Baker Mansion is maintained by the Blair County Historical Society and hosts a variety of educational and artistic programs throughout the year. Be sure to add this on your travel plans when passing through the region!
Absolutely beautiful! The history of the family and the area were presented eloquently and not so over crowded that you couldnt take it all in. Bought a pass to 3 places of interest for 20,so well worth it. A very enjoyable day.
Very neat place! Great for pictures and a very interesting and slightly creepy story that goes along with it
I have never before encountered a ruder staff at any museum anywhere. The purpose of local historical societies is to collect and curate information on their communities for research and education. This seems to be a task that the curators here are both completely uninterested in doing and wholly unequipped to conduct. Lebanon county’s historical society is far and away superior in form, function, and customer service, and is something this organization epilepsy do well to emulate. If collections officer is recommending you to the internet for your historical research needs, it means that the museum isn’t doing its job correctly, if at all.
Absolutley a gem. Blair county historical society meeting place. Very good display of local WW2 history along with E & H Baker family history. Very interesting mainly geared for visitors who enjoy history. Not for families with toddlers, not a hands on touch stuff environment.
The recent restoration work at the Mansion is amazing! The World War II display with many local individuals who served is inspirational!
For as many times as I have been here, somehow it is still magical
Nice museum with seasonal happenings
Love learning about my home.
Cool place, we just walked around the outside looking for a geocache.
Beautiful place to visit. Make sure you make it there for Christmas New Years and the Halloween
My dream is to live there for a month. Reminds me of the old house on old TV show..Dark Shadows.
Awesome trip down memory lane! Definitely a must see. Thank You !
Closed when i visited. Outside is good enough to walk around and take pictures. Watch out for the 2nd floor windows, someone might be peeking at you
Fascinating historical museum in a haunted 1800s mansion.
