Holiday tours at Grey Towers

Posted

MILFORD, PA — Grey Towers National Historic Site will offer guided holiday tours of all three floors of the decorated mansion from Monday, December 8 through Saturday, December 20, at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The 1886 mansion, formerly the home of Gov. Gifford Pinchot, founder and first chief of the U.S. Forest Service, will once again be decorated by members of the Milford Garden Club. Each floor is decorated with a different theme or era. These special holiday tours bring visitors to all three floors of the mansion; the upper floors usually are not open to the public for tours.

In addition to the guided tours, there will be a holiday art exhibit and sale, plein air paintings by artists of Come Paint With Me, all creatively depicting Grey Towers and the landscape. On Saturday, December 13, at 2 p.m., members of the Dingman Delaware Elementary School Chorus will sing holiday favorites in the Grey Towers Visitor Pavilion. The Grey Towers Interpretive Gift Shop is open from December 8 to 20 offering a 20% discount.

Regular tour fees ($8 adults; $7 seniors; $5 youth; under 12 free) apply. For more information or in case of inclement weather, call 570/296-9630.
