For 89 years, the Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks (PhilaLandmarks) has played a significant role in both the historic preservation movement and heritage tourism in Philadelphia by restoring, furnishing, and presenting to the public its distinguished house museums – Powel House, Grumblethorpe, Hill- Physick House, and Historic Waynesborough. The mission of PhilaLandmarks is to inspire people to engage with history by preserving these four unique sites and by providing related historical, educational, and cultural programming. Each property presents a distinctive perspective and plays a significant role in their respective communities.PhilaLandmarks believes that it is only through understanding and engaging in our histories (architectural, social, political, etc.) that we can make decisions about what is important to us today and what we choose to support in the future. While we enjoy providing quality house tours, we will also continue to discover new audiences and innovative ways to engage with the stories we tell.
