History

Joseph Shipley, a Quaker merchant banker, built Rockwood between 1851 and 1854. Its Gothic Revival architecture and enchanting landscape were designed to reflect the beauty of an English country estate. The museum reflects the way the Bringhurst family, descendants of Shipley, lived during the turn of the 20th century.

In addition to traditional fox-hunting outings, the institution also hosts other activities relating to horses and hounds, including a spring race held since the late 1920s. The annual Brywn Mawr Hound Show has also been a mainstay at the lush, sprawling Chester County property.
