Support the Mansion! When Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion opened to the public, it was with the intent that the house should serve as an educational resource for supporters just like you. The support of the general public is critical to helping keep the Mansion open for school tours, theatre programs, and workshops. Through the contributions of generous donors like you, the Mansion is able to thrive and preserve the many facets of Victorian life in 19th century Philadelphia. By providing a tax-deductible gift, you will help preserve Philadelphia’s only authentically restored Victorian house museum and garden.
Through donor support, in the past year the Mansion has seen:
- Damaged exterior masonry work repaired and re-pointed
- Installation of exterior security cameras
- Acquisition of new collection items, including a parlor dome and silver dresser set
- Implementation of special events, including a production of Anne of Green Gables, workshops, community picnic, author events, Victoriana Reimagined, a contemporary art exhibition inspired by the Mansion, and the Murder Mystery
- Planning for upcoming events including a Grand Musical Soiree, the 2018 Murder Mystery: A Seance to Remember, and in 2019 two Oscar Wilde Victorian Theatre productions: A Picture of Dorian Gray starring Josh Hitchens and The Ideal Husband.
Help us preserve 19th century Philadelphia history for the future with a tax-deductible donation to
Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion!
The Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion thanks the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission for general operating funds received in 2009 & 2014. These funds help support wonderful events and workshops at the Mansion.
