SUMMARY:Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum Tour & Wine & Cheese Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Cornell Alumni Association of Westchester at the historic Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum in Pelham Bay Park on Wednesday December 9 from 6 – 8 PM. We will tour the National Historic Landmark with a wine and cheese gathering to follow. Cornellian Maxine Siegel and her museum educators will guide us through this grand Greek Revival manor home.  \nOriginally inhabited by the Lenape since ca 1\,000 A.D.\, Lenapehoking was acquired in 1654 by Connecticut physician Thomas Pell through treaty with five Lenni Lenape Sachem: Shawan Orochquot\, Poquorum\, Annoke\, Wawhamkus and Mehumow that included 50\,000 acres of what is today the Bronx and lower Westchester County. The property was passed briefly to the LeRoy family before Robert Bartow\, a Pell descendant\, and his wife\, Maria Lorillard\, purchased a portion in 1836 and completed the mansion by 1842. The Bartow family remained there until 1888\, when the city of New York purchased the property along with many other acres that now make up Pelham Bay Park. In 1914\, the city leased the site to the International Garden Club (ICG). The club hired the architectural firm Delano & Aldrich to restore the mansion and design the formal garden. The building opened as a museum in 1946\, and in 2008 the ICG was renamed Bartow-Pell Conservancy.   \nFinally\, we will enjoy a wine and cheese reception in L’Orangerie.  If the weather cooperates\, we may also gather outdoors in the Pebble Court. \nEvent Details:\nDate: Wednesday\, December 9\, 2026\nTime: 6:00 – 8:00pm\nLocation: Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum\, Pelham Bay Park | 895 Shore Road\, Bronx\, NY\nCost: $40.00 \nEvent questions\, contact Laura Fratt – fratt@verizon.net\n \n
