CALLICOON, NY — The Delaware Young at Heart organization will sponsor a trip to Grey Towers in Milford, PA on Tuesday, September 22, leaving from the Youth Center by carpool at 10 a.m.

Grey Towers was the home of Gifford Pinchot, first chief of the U.S. Forest Service and two-term Pennsylvania governor. His summer home was designed both to use local materials and reflect the French heritage of the Pinchot family, who first settled in Milford in 1818. Among the buildings’ beautiful and whimsical features is an outdoor dining table, its center a water-filled pool on which food was served on floating trays. The U.S. Forest Service now owns and administers the site.

Admission costs $8 for adults, $7 for 65 years and older and $5 for ages 12 to 17. It is suggested that each passenger in the carpool offer their driver at least $5 to cover the cost of gasoline. Visit www.fs.usda.gov/main/greytowers/home.
