The John Harris and Simon Cameron Mansion
The Mansion Today
The history of the Mansion is one of change for both its ownership and architecture. The Mansion has undergone numerous additions and significant renovations since it was first constructed in 1766. It has had no fewer than eight owners before the Society first called it home in 1941. In 1976 the Mansion was designated a National Historic Landmark. We offer tours of the Mansion from April to December. You can also rent the Mansion for personal or business events.
New! - A Panorama of the Parlor
HSDC is happy to have the Harris-Cameron Mansion included as a site in the Pennsylvania Civil War Trails Google Earth Project. Thanks to this partnership between several state, historical, and technology institutions, you can now view, pan, and zoom in on a high-resolution panorama of the Mansion Parlor.
