Now serving as the first Environmental Education Center in the state, the Nolde property was once the home of a wealthy Reading manufacturer. The mansion now serves as the park and staff offices and is not open to the public except on open house days. 

Join the Friends of Nolde Forest for this special holiday version of the Mansion Open house. See the Nolde Mansion story in video, take a self-guided tour of the home, and watch home videos from the Nolde family, all while enjoying some holiday decorations. No registration required.

The monthly open house is FREE, but if you would like a more in-depth experience, there is a docent lead tour on Sunday, Dec 21. Tickets can be purchased here: https://events.dcnr.pa.gov/event/2025-winter-guided-tour-of-the-mansion

Hosted by the Friends of Nolde Forest.
