Gardens and Grounds Tour 2021

Tour ticket holders do not need to purchase a Daily Grounds Pass, as tour tickets include grounds access.

This tour traverses the upper eastern portion of the property and takes visitors through the spectacular rose garden, the remaining frame of the Lord & Burnham greenhouse, discusses the ruins of the remarkable c. 1914 swimming pool building once known as Helen’s Bath and passes through the fern garden. This tour combines history of the estate and its residents with some discussion of trees and historic plantings. Departing from the Welcome Center, this requires the ability to walk over uneven hilly ground for at least one hour and is not recommended for those with mobility issues or children under 12.
