The walls of Cliveden sheltered British troops from American attack during the Battle of Germantown, as well as seven generations of Philadelphia’s Chew family in the years that followed. Today, Cliveden is a National Trust Historic Site, open to the public for tours April through December. Concerts, lectures and workshops, annual celebrations and special events make Cliveden a vital member of Philadelphia’s Historic Germantown Neighborhood (Freedom’s Backyard). Cliveden tells a story of America’s continuing struggle for freedom. Upsala, c.1798, built on a portion of the Germantown battlefield, is now managed by Cliveden and not open for tours at this time.
