Glen Foerd

Come with us on today’s #journeywithjimmy to picturesque Glen Foerd – a piece of history nestled in the heart of Torresdale, right on the Delaware River. Built in the mid-19th century, this historic mansion and estate stand as a testament to the bygone era when Philadelphia’s elite got away from city summers by heading to sprawling country estates along the riverbanks of the Northeast.

Today, Glen Foerd isn’t just a relic of the past. It’s living, breathing history combining the best elements of a museum and a public park for visitors of all ages. From architecture and art to lush gardens and waterways, Glen Foerd is a vital part of Philly’s natural and cultural ecosystems.

If you’re a history buff, a nature enthusiast, or just looking for a peaceful spot by the river, Glen Foerd has something for you!
