Chappaqua Library In-person Lecture: Westchester’s Historic Gardens Series- Part 1

Step into lush, magnificently designed gardens and experience a variety of historic eras and fascinating cultures – through a digital visit to some of Westchester’s fabulous public gardens. In this 75-minute, richly illustrated presentation Barbara Davis, Westchester County Historical Society Co-Director, presents images both past and present of the restored colonial gardens at the Jay family properties, the Gilded Age property of Lyndhurst, the serenity of the Japanese Stroll Gardens in North Salem and the impeccable Persian designs of Untermeyer Park, among others. You’ll also meet the architects, horticulturists, philanthropists and visionaries that made these spaces open to the public today.
