Fort Hunter Mansion and Park

Fort Hunter Mansion and Park is a historic site located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, overlooking the Susquehanna River. Originally a British fort during the French and Indian War, it has also served as a farm and a frontier village before becoming an exclusive private estate. Now preserved and open to the public, the park offers guided tours of the Mansion, which is decorated seasonally, and features ten historic buildings, picnic areas, playgrounds, and walking trails along the river and canal towpath. The site is managed by the Dauphin County Parks and Recreation Department, with support from the Friends of Fort Hunter, a non-profit organization dedicated to its preservation and operation. The park hosts various programs and festivals throughout the year and is available for event rentals.
