Step Back Into the Gilded Age at Lynnewood Hall’s First Annual Gala

Imagine stepping back in time to an era of grand parties, exquisite fashion, champagne, and extraordinary hospitality. This Saturday, September 26, 2026, one of the Philadelphia region’s most magnificent historic estates will once again open its doors for an unforgettable evening.

For the first time in more than 85 years, Lynnewood Hall will formally entertain guests with an elegant celebration inspired by the legendary hospitality of the Widener family.

The Lynnewood Hall Preservation Foundation is hosting its inaugural annual gala, A Gilded Age Celebration of Preservation, bringing together history, philanthropy, music, and the extraordinary beauty of this Elkins Park architectural treasure.

And what a spectacular evening it promises to be!

A celebration with a purpose

Beyond the glamour, this special evening is about something much more meaningful: preserving Lynnewood Hall for future generations.

The Lynnewood Hall Preservation Foundation is dedicated to restoring and revitalizing the historic estate, ensuring that its extraordinary architecture and cultural legacy can be enjoyed for years to come.

The inaugural gala celebrates the foundation’s achievements while raising funds to continue that important work.

And what better way to support the preservation of a magnificent Gilded Age mansion than by bringing a little of its legendary hospitality back to life?
