The Boal Estate has been the Boal family home for over 200 years, and tells the story of America as seen through eight generations of one family. The Mansion has the original furnishings, artwork, and artifacts belonging to family members.

The fourth generation, Colonel Theodore Davis Boal, called Terry, went to Europe in the 1890's and married Mathilde, a descendent of Christopher Columbus, who inherited the Columbus Chapel and brought it to Boalsburg in 1909.


The Tour Consists of:
  • the Boal Mansion, home of eight generations of the Boal family for over 200 years with the original furnishings
  • the Columbus Chapel, a centuries-old chapel of the Columbus family imported from Spain in 1909 containing fine European art and two pieces of the True Cross of Jesus.
  • Feel free to walk about the grounds, which include an active barn theater company
