Glen Foerd On the Delaware
First time visitors to the Glen Foerd Estate always experience the "Wow Factor." Why? Because views of the stunning
Delaware River just "don't get any better than this." The main 1850 Italianate Mansion is full of surprises, from
the Art Gallery with its Tiffany style skylight, to the men's drinking hangout, known as the Rathskeller. During
your visit you can imagine living life in the lap of luxury like the Foerderer family on this 18-acre estate. A
mainstay here is L'il Ugly, the mascot dog. Want to make the fantasy last a little longer? Consider booking your
special event at this locally renowned site.
Must See: The Rathskeller and L'il Ugly
