Before you go

⚠ Park closure: David Wills House Closure

The David Wills House is currently closed. The house will temporarily reopen from November 16 to 19, 2026. Please visit our David Wills House web page for more information and a 3D tour of the house.

⚠ Park closure: Pennsylvania Memorial Observation Deck Closed

A renovation project for the nearby Comfort Station requires electrical service to be shut off. This shut off affects lighting in the spiral staircase leading up to the Pennsylvania Memorial observation deck. The staircase is now too dark to maintain visitors’ safety. The observation deck will remain closed until the Comfort Station project is complete in early-to-mid November. Note: The base of the Pennsylvania Memorial remains open to visitation during this time.
