WOMEN FOR GREATER PHILADELPHIA~

Women For Greater Philadelphia, an organization of volunteers was incorporated in 1973, under the name "Women For The Bicentennial" as a non-profit service organization. Its purpose at that time was to cooperate with the City in celebrating the nation's 200th anniversary in 1976.

The first project for "Women For The Bicentennial" was the renovation and restoration of the handsome, but neglected, Laurel Hill Mansion, under an agreement with the Fairmount Park Commission. The mansion opened for the first time in 1976, and has been open to the public ever since. The organization is responsible for the interior restoration of the mansion and for staffing and hostesssing.

At the close of 1976 the name of our organization was changed to Women For Greater Philadelphia.
