Artifacts illuminated in Grey Towers tour

MILFORD, PA — Visitors to Grey Towers National Historic Site will get an in-depth look at some original artifacts in the collection during a special artifact tour planned for Saturday, September 5 at 1:30 p.m.

Designed in response to a growing interest in the artifacts and family heirlooms that furnish the first floor of the 1886 mansion, the tour will feature explanations of many of the original items either left in the home or loaned by the family after they donated the estate to the U.S. Forest Service in 1963. Pieces in the museum spaces of the home date from the seventh or eighth century to the 20th century and illustrate the lifestyles of several different generations who lived in the home.

Reservations are recommended and space is limited. Regular tour fees apply. For more information email greytowers@fs.fed.us or call 570/296-9630.
