The Parry Mansion was built in 1784 by Benjamin Parry, one of New Hope's founders. The house has the distinction of having been occupied by four generations of Benjamin Parry's direct descendants. The line of Parry family ownership ended in 1966 when Margaret Parry Lang sold the Mansion to the New Hope Historical Society. The furnishings of the eleven rooms reflect 125 years of decorative changes. Each room represents a different time period during which the Parrys occupied the Mansion.

There have been clear sightings of a female entity, dressed in a black-beaded dress, going about her business in the upstairs area.

While filming a historical documentary in the Parry Mansion, the sound recorders inadvertently picked up footsteps of some curious spirit children, perhaps wanting to see what the living were up to in their home.
