Baker Mansion

For over a century, the Blair County Historical Society at Baker Mansion in Altoona, PA has explored regional history, life during the Civil War era, and the story of the Elias Baker Family. Settling in the area in 1836, the Bakers became a very affluent family thanks to their rising dominance in iron-making. Theirs is a story of ambition, perseverance, wealth, and power–all topics that retain great influence in modern society. Their story remains a highlight of our museum to this day.

Altoona is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Altoona follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.
