This was a neat gem to check out, lots of items and history to learn. Tour was about an hour and a half, we did the 2 pm drop in tour, since there was no need to pre-schedule. Ticket price was $15 per adult

The Boal Mansion is filled with awesome art and furnishings. The armory exhibit is a MUST SEE for gun enthusiasts. Reserve a guided tour to learn the amazing Boal Family history.

At the Christopher Columbus chapel in Boalsburg is a Relic of the cross of Christ! Also, it is a fantastic display of the armory of Pierre Boals.

This place is AMAZING! I LOVED it! So much history, so many wonderful stories, such knowledgeable staff, so many wonderful artifacts! It does not have any social media accounts that I can find (which would be a huge benefit, in my humble personal opinion... and who knows... maybe they're working ok that!). But don't let that deter you! Tickets are $15/person and it is open Friday through Sunday. There is a 2 pm "drop in" tour, or you can call ahead to discuss another time. All of that info csn be found on the website (which IS very helpful...

If you find yourself in Boalsburg or nearby State College definitely check this place out! The mansion and chapel look a little small on the outside but on the inside they're PACKED with stuff and the tour guide was very knowledgeable of every little thing that was in it. Please go and support the volunteers that keep the place standing! One drop-in tour is available each day Wednesday-Sunday at 2pm so you don't even need to make a...
