After passing Stenton for decades, I finally made it to a tour. Located near the up and coming Wayne Junction Train Stop, Stenton is walking distance away. I drove, but one can walk there.We arrived and three staff (?) members met us immediately. You see, the 1 P.M. tour that had been reserved were not yet there. We were the 2 P.M. group. We suantered around the grounds, and after those 1 P.M.ers failed to show, we took their place.We were guided to the outside grounds (a meadow of sorts and a garden along with the some relatively unattended areas) and reviwed a monument or two and the house itself.Inside, you have many artifacts and relics from the colonial and post-colonial eras. Much of the furniture seems to be of the period or thereabouts. I was happily surprised by the state of the place: kind of remarkable. I learned that that one calls it en suite decoration when the curtains match the drapes as is the case on the second floor.I believe our guides name was Elise. She was welcoming and bubbly.Worth touring if you are in the area. Too bad there is no colonial era distillation going on at this place. I saw a recipe for meade in the kitchen and cider would be appropiate and maybe even historically accurate.

Amazing museum! Beautiful property, lots of history. Go!

Stenton Halloween harvest was great event . We are enjoyed a lot there . Specially my son had a lot of fun there. We are thankful to organizing such a wonderful event

It is a piece of history in a truly urban neighborhood. When you enter the grounds its like going back in time. The staff is awesome and the grounds are magnificently kept!

Well worth going. No A/C, which our party didnt mind, but could pose a problem for others. Parking lot on site. Groupon coupons can save you $. I wouldve appreciated a more thorough tour, though. We really love our history. But it was nice, overall!

Stenton past. Stenton present. Stenton continues to evolve for the future.Wonderful,caring and committed staff...

Awesome place to visit! Ms. Ginger is a wonderful tour guide! Great for children ages 10 to 14

The day we went it rained all day soo it was nasty

Went to the Ape Gang picnic here for years - damn nice park with lots of local parking - nice bbq facilities here and many places for the kids to play too

Nice place with gteat history

A very beautiful and well preserved mansion. The curator was very knowledgeable about the house and its history. Contrary to another review here, the opening dates and hours are published right on the website.

Class trip with 4th graders, friendly knowledgable staff

Great historic property in Germantown. Tours and events for kids are great here! And if you live in one of the surrounding neighborhoods its free!

It would be most helpful if they would put the times of operation on the website. I checked the website, didnt see any dates/times, so headed out early on a Saturday afternoon. Sign on the locked gate indicated it was open only April-December.
