After many renovations, Strawberry Mansion now has Greek Revival Wings and a beautiful Federal style.

Strawberry Mansion is home to many historic gardens, including The Apiary to harvest honey, The Kitchen Garden to plant fresh produce, and The Elizabeth Price Martin Azalea Path to honor the first president of the estate.
