MILFORD, PA — Friends and families throughout the tri-state region are invited to celebrate spring outdoors at Grey Towers National Historic Site on Sunday, June 15 from noon to 3 p.m.
The event features its first cake walk, children’s theater and activities, live music “and the simple joy of gathering in nature,” a press release read.
Families can bring a picnic lunch, find a scenic spot on the grounds, and enjoy Grey Towers—once home to Gifford Pinchot, the first chief of the U.S. Forest Service.
Attendees are encouraged to bring homemade cakes and pies (that don’t require refrigeration) to share at tables on the grounds.
“It’s a wonderful way for people to come together, enjoy the outdoors and great music, and celebrate the legacy of conservation that Gifford Pinchot left us all,” said Barbara Wortmann, board member and co-organizer of the picnic. Milford Hospitality Group was a premiere sponsor for the picnic.
At noon, “FernGully,” a live musical production, will be performed by the kids of Stagecraft Performance Art.
Kids’ activities take place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., and the cake walk will be held from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. From 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Marc VonEm & Trio will perform a mix of bluesy rock, folk, funk and jazz.
Attendees can dress in Victorian costume too.
All outdoor activities are free, and the picnic will be held at the Pool Pavilion in the event of rain. Ticketed self-guided museum tours on the estate will be available and include special exhibits.
