Grey Towers tour puts the focus on architecture

MILFORD, PA — There will be a special tour of the Grey Towers National Historic Site on Thursday, September 24 at 5:00 p.m.

Led by Ken Sandri, assistant director for preservation and resource management at Grey Towers, the tour will focus on the unique architectural details of the mansion, built by James Pinchot in 1886. The French-chatequesque stone mansion features more than 40 rooms and three distinctive turrets, or towers, and served as the home of Gov. Gifford Pinchot.

Regular tour fees apply. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather as this program is held outdoors rain or shine.

Grey Towers, ancestral home of the Pinchot family, has a long-standing tradition of welcoming the public to the estate. Now managed by the U.S. Forest Service with numerous partners, Grey Towers is an active conservation, education and leadership development center that offers interpretive tours and special programs that continue the family’s legacy.
