General Info

Established in 1972. A site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and a proud member of Historic Germantown, Cliveden opened to the public in 1972. Built in 1763-1767, Cliveden was home to seven generations of the Chew family and the men and women who worked for them, was the site of the Battle of Germantown in October 1777, and is an important example of Philadelphia Georgian architecture. Cliveden focuses on telling the multiple narratives of the property by interpreting the buildings and grounds; giving a voice to the men and women--black, white, free, enslaved, and indentured--who played a role in the Cliveden story. The site is open for walk-in tours in the spring and fall. Tours during the winter season and for groups and schools are available year-round by appointment. Our office and grounds are open daily.Established in 1972. A site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and a proud member of Historic Germantown, Cliveden opened to the public in 1972.
