Colors to dazzle at landscape tour

MILFORD, PA — Grey Towers National Historic Site will host a fall foliage tour on Saturday, October 4 at 1:30 p.m. “Evolution of the Grey Towers Landscape: Autumn in Cornelia Pinchot’s Gardens,” will focus on how some of the landscape plants, trees and buildings were incorporated into the design of the 1886 French Chateauesque mansion estate by the Pinchot family. Unique features include an outdoor dining table made of water and a meeting room that used to be a child’s playhouse.

The landscape tour differs from regular public tours because the entire program is focused on the exterior grounds of the estate. Participants who also want to take a regular tour can do so at half price. Group size is limited and pre-registration is suggested. Regular tour fees apply.

Participants should meet in the visitor pavilion in the parking lot to begin the walking tour through the grounds. Comfortable shoes are suggested.
