Monastery Stables

Highlight • Historical Site

Tip by

3.92 km

This small building has an interesting story. I assumed it was simply a gatehouse between trails in the Wissahickon Gorge park (connecting Forbidden Drive and the Creek Trail). Actually it is one of a network of phone stations used in the old days to connect a phone line running through the park, for the park police. This building was the tenth phone box (aka Ten Box).

Valley Green Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

This inn is the last roadhouse in all of Philadelphia, and a much-beloved part of Fairmount Park. Although you can't stay here overnight, they serve good food and the inn serves as a sort of communal gathering spot: You can cozy up to the fireplace in the winter, or chill out on the porches in the summer.
