Question

What’s the history of Linwood Estate?

Answer

Linwood Estate is a beautiful special event venue located on 121 mostly wooded acres outside Carlisle PA. Opened in August 2014, the venue includes a striking mansion, rustic cottage and barn-inspired ballroom. The manicured lawns dotted with ornate statues serve as an ideal location for outdoor weddings, and the variety of settings cater to events ranging in size from 15 to 500 people and events ranging from intimate formal dinners to mid-size conferences. The mansion was built in 1870 and was most recently owned by Linwood B. Phillips. Linwood, the namesake of the estate, was known for owning real estate in the region and his pig farm. Most of the chandeliers throughout the property are original, and over 100 of his beloved statues are still located on the estate. The Cottage, a four bedroom retreat for the Groom and his Groomsmen, nods to Linwood's love of hunting.
