If you’re looking for a place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of nature, look no further than Conestoga House and Gardens. This historic estate is home to one of the most stunning botanical gardens in Pennsylvania, featuring over 5,000 tropical and sub-tropical plants.

Conestoga House and Gardens has a rich history dating back to the early 1700s, when it was part of a large land grant from William Penn. The current house was built in 1925 by James Hale Steinman, a prominent newspaper publisher and philanthropist. He and his wife Louise Tinsley Steinman transformed the property into a horticultural paradise, with the help of renowned landscape architect Thomas W. Sears.

Today, the estate is open to the public from May to October, from Tuesdays to Thursdays, offering visitors a chance to explore the 7.8 acres of gardens and grounds. You can admire the colorful flowers, exotic plants, fountains, sculptures, and ponds that adorn the landscape. You can also learn more about the history of the house and its owners through guided tours and exhibits.

Conestoga House and Gardens is also a perfect venue for hosting weddings, meetings, or private events. You can rent the elegant house or the spacious gardens for your special occasion, and enjoy the services of their professional staff. Whether you’re planning a small gathering or a large celebration, Conestoga House and Gardens can accommodate your needs and make your event unforgettable.

Another unique highlight of Conestoga House and Gardens is to try out one of their themed nights. Every month, they offer a different theme that showcases their beautiful gardens and historic house, as well as delicious food and drinks. You can enjoy live music, games, trivia, crafts, and more, all while learning about the history and culture of the theme. Some of the past themes include Jazz Night, Film Night, Hawaiian Luau, Oktoberfest, Victorian Christmas, and Mardi Gras.
