Gardens from the Past

We visited this beautiful mansion on a hot summer afternoon. It was built to resemble an extra-large English cottage, and is filled with many valuable antiques and fine art. Now it is a museum that chronicles the daily life of those who once lived here.


It sits on a huge estate with a view of the lake.


There is a formal rose garden with fountains and stone pathways.


Green lawns and huge, ivy-covered trees create a peaceful, quiet setting.
