American Swedish Historical Museum

Modeled after a 17th-century manor house and tucked away in verdant FDR Park, the American Swedish Historical Museum is truly one of Philadelphia’s hidden gems. Imagine your wedding in our two-story Grand Hall with its elegant staircase and beautifully painted, vaulted ceiling. Or, if you prefer an outdoor ceremony, you might exchange vows under a leafy tree with the lush park as your backdrop, frame your ceremony in architectural charm under one of the arcades’ graceful arches, or go big-front-and-center in front of the museum’s ornate doors and stately façade.
