Tour of Bryn Athyn Cathedral and Walk
Details
We will meet near the Cathedral entrance at noon. Plenty of parking in the area. We'll walk in the area near the Cathedral which includes Glencairn Museum, Cairnwood Mansion, Bryn Athyn College and Pennypack ERT for about an hour. We then take the guided tour at 115pm which takes about 45 minutes. The church asks for a $5 donation.
This is right next to Glencairn Museum and was built by the same people as the museum. One of the "Wonders of Philadelphia".
