New research is unearthing a more complicated history at Cliveden, which involves layers of significance, including the lives of those who were enslaved and in service to the Chew family. That information broadens the meaning of Cliveden as a preserved historic place, exploring themes and stories of American identity and freedom. Traces of the history of the Cliveden property and its occupants can be found throughout the 5-acre (2.0 ha) woody landscape. The Cliveden grounds are open for the community to enjoy as a public park from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, weather permitting.
