Description

Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum welcomes teachers and students to the only remaining grand country estate in Pelham Bay Park. Surrounded by woods and marshland, the mansion and carriage house depict family life in the 19th-century; a Northeast Woodlands wigwam is the centerpiece of the popular Native American program; and the children’s garden allows students to learn about science, nature, nutrition, and plants. Bartow-Pell educators use hands-on activities and inquiry-based discussions to bring the site to life during field trips.
