From the lawns surrounding the 18th-century Belmont Mansion, there's a panoramic view of the city skyline. The mansion, administered by the American Women’s Heritage Society, houses the Underground Railroad Museum, which tells the story of Cornelia Wells, a freed Black woman. However, it is not always open; call ahead to check.
