Interpreter Tour

The Vanderbilt Garden Association interpreters will offer free tours of the formal gardens at the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site. Tours begin at the entrance to the gardens. The volunteer interpreters will discuss the history of the gardens, with a focus on the Vanderbilt ownership and the mission of the not-for-profit Vanderbilt Garden Association to rehabilitate and maintain the plants, shrubs, trees, and statuary in the gardens as they were in the 1930’s just prior to Mr. Vanderbilt’s death.
