The mansion is beautifully decorated by the Milford Garden Club, which has a long-standing relationship with Grey Towers. It takes weeks of planning and at least two full days of intensive hanging, draping, adorning and arranging to decorate all three floors, staircases and fireplace mantels in the French chateauesque mansion.
