Grey Towers open on Veterans Day

MILFORD — Grey Towers National Historic Site in Milford will offer a fee-free open house for veterans, active military personnel and their families on Friday, Nov. 11, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The event is in keeping with the Pinchot family tradition of welcoming the community, including veterans, to their home at Grey Towers, when Gov. Gifford Pinchot and his wife, Cornelia, lived there.
The 1886 mansion was active with guests and visitors during its heyday when Pinchot, who also was founder and first chief of the U.S. Forest Service, was Governor of Pennsylvania. In addition to welcoming veterans to his private home, Pinchot rode the firetruck during a parade in Milford at the conclusion of World War II and authored numerous articles making a case for conservation as the foundation for global peace.
