And just like that, we have sold out of tickets for our final afternoon tea of the 2026 season!

Thanks to all of our tea guests this season for the remarkable support you have given us, and we look forward to seeing many of you next week!

We of course plan on having many more teas next season, so keep an eye out for next year's afternoon tea schedule in early 2027! If you are looking to have your own tea experience here at the mansion sooner, though, reach out to us about renting the Anna Baker Tea Room for a private tea!

Are the ghostly legends behind this old ironmaster's home true? Find out for yourself by stepping inside Blair County, PA's most iconic haunted mansion and joining us for our Paranormal Encounters at the Baker Mansion event on Friday, September 18 from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM!

Led by our good friends from JABA Paranormal Investigations, this paranormal experience will allow guests to roam the halls of the Baker family's home after hours and gather evidence on the spirits that may just be there alongside them. The evening will also include a special presentation by the JABA team that highlights their own paranormal evidence, the equipment they use, and the haunted history of the mansion itself!

We traveled back to the 1860s this past weekend with our A Mansion Divided: The Baker Family and Blair County in the Civil War (Living History Weekend)! Guests were immersed in the Civil War era thanks to living history displays, weapons demonstrations, tintype photography sessions, artifact exhibits, and tours of this magnificent home!

We want to thank everyone who joined us this past weekend and made this event such a wonderful success! We appreciate all of the living historians from near and far who joined us in order to bring this period of American history to life, and our thanks goes out to the museums and historical organizations from our area that stopped by to promote other aspects of our local history! Shout-out to Keystone Tintype for running such a fantastic display AND setting a record-breaking weekend!

Of course, we cannot forget the lovely folks who set up their food and drink stations across the weekend! Thanks to Royer Barbecue Company and The Dirty Soda Shack for joining us each day this year!

We're just ONE DAY AWAY from our A Mansion Divided: The Baker Family and Blair County in the Civil War (Living History Weekend)! To help guests prepare for this living history event, we wanted to give an update on parking for each day.

Parking spaces will be available along the Mansion Park fence on Oak Lane (right in front of our driveway) as per usual. However, as shown in the attached picture, there will also be parking available on the opposite side of Mansion Park in their parking lot areas (indicated with the stars). Guests who park on the opposite side will then be able to cross through Mansion Park and exit to the mansion via their opened gates. PLEASE DO NOT PARK INSIDE MANSION PARK! THE GATE IS OPEN ONLY FOR GUESTS TO WALK THROUGH!

Parking on the premises of the Baker Mansion is prohibited due to guest accessibility and safety concerns each day.
