SUMMARY:Buttrick Garden Tours
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free tour of the Buttrick Gardens at Minute Man National Historical Park. We’ll discuss the history and preservation of these beautiful gardens and find shady spots to view the plantings and historic images.\n\n\nBeginning in 1911\, two generations of the Buttrick family tended and enlarged the formal gardens until 1962\, when the National Park Service purchased the property. Stewards of the land since the colonial period\, the Buttrick family was proud that their gardens stood near the historic muster fields of April 19\, 1775. The eclectic gardens feature viewing terraces\, steps leading down to the Concord River\, elegant wrought ironwork\, and brick\, bluestone\, and cobblestone walkways. Framed by ornamental trees and shrubs\, the garden beds contain the Buttrick family’s award-winning iris and daylilies\, colorful spring bulbs\, and perennials that bloom from spring to fall. \nTours are rain or shine\, so bring an umbrella if needed! In the case of thunderstorms or heavy rain\, we will meet inside the North Bridge Visitor Center. Free parking is available. \nREGISTRATION REQUIRED\, SPOTS ARE LIMITED: friendsofminuteman.org/events \nDATE: Thursday\, May 28 \nTIME: 10 – 11 AM \nLOCATION: Minute Man National Historical Park\, North Bridge Visitor Center\, 174 Liberty Street\, Concord\, MA 01742 \nACCESS: Parking is accessible.
