Bartow-Pell Mansion
The mansion is open for self-guided tours, a stroll in the garden, live music and light refreshments.
The free Bronx Seaside Trolley makes a continuous loop from Pelham Bay Park No. 6 subway station to Bartow-Pell to City Island.
On land purchased from the Siwanoy tribe in 1654, Robert Bartow built the last of many mansions in the then-bucolic neighborhood of Pelham Bay. Grand staircases, Empire furniture and a conservatory shaded with fruit trees are the highlights of this New York City landmark.
