Glen Foerd, constructed in 1850, is Philadelphia’s last riverfront mansion open to the public. The estate was established as a summer residence by Charles Macalester, Jr., a respected businessman, broker and government director of the Second Bank of the US. The estate, now known as Glen Foerd, was originally named Glengarry, after the Macalester family’s Scottish ancestral home. Today, Glen Foerd on the Delaware’s mission is to connect visitors to the legacy of Glen Foerd through programs in the arts, nature and history and to preserve and protect the landscape, buildings and collections for the enjoyment and enrichment of the community and future generations.
