Historic Strawberry Mansion

We first visited Strawberry Mansion to enjoy a Victorian Christmas music concert. The interior is filled with historic antique furniture and toys upstairs. This is the biggest of the Fairmount Park mansions, and was built in 1789. The owner in 1828 added two Greek revival style wings. The mansion is beautifully landscaped, featuring an arbor, cultivated gardens and a big grassy, treed backyard. There's also an active apiary. The grounds and garden are free to stroll during the day. Some guided public tours are offered each year. There is free parking leading up to the mansion. It's a popular mansion to rent for private events, especially weddings.

Would be nice to see the city or Art Museum invest more into the buildings and grounds, but still very beautiful

The rating is for the event that was put on there on August 5, not the Manson itself. I did not take a tour of the place. The event Blacoak Winery Summer Festival did not live up to the expectations, and the general admission was $150 with 3 food trucks in the front (entrance). You walked around back to 1 tent and about 15 vendors that gave you small samples of wine, bourbon, whiskey, and t-shirts. There were a very limited number of tables to sit, but you had an option of bringing blankets and sitting on the ground. I was very disappointed. The advertisement made it appear upscale, and it was far from that.
