There's history in every corner of Penn State Behrend's campus — and nowhere is that more evident than at the Glenhill Farmhouse.

During Families and Alumni Weekend, you can take a guided historical tour of this stunning landmark, nestled in the heart of our beautiful campus. It's a peaceful, memorable experience that gives you a deeper appreciation for the roots of this place we love.

And with fall foliage as the backdrop? It's absolutely breathtaking.
