RIDLEY CREEK STATE PARK: HUNTING HILL MANSION

Originally built as a simple stone farmhouse in 1789, the present day Hunting Hill Mansion was elevated to the grand scale seen today in 1914. This English style Tudor mansion includes 38 rooms, 13 fireplaces, a ballroom and a "Grand Staircase Room". The grounds feature formal gardens, stables, trails and a mixture of forest land and expansive lawns all within the 2600 acres of Ridley Creek State Park located less than 20 miles from Center City, Philadelphia.
