As the last remaining "great country estate" in the Bronx Pelham Bay Park, Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum's mission is to create a vibrant site through the preservation, restoration and interpretation of the property and grounds for the benefit of the public throughout the New York City metro region and beyond.

Our mission is achieved by:

- protecting, preserving and restoring the site's architecture, landscape and collection;
- interpreting the site's history in compelling and innovative ways; and
- creating dynamic education programs for schools, adults and families.
