You don’t have to travel abroad to enjoy a true English garden; just come to Rockwood Park & Museum! The Museum is a mansion built by a merchant banker, whose goal was to create his Gothic Revival mansion and garden in the classic English style, and the results do not disappoint. The architecture, furnishings, and works of art truly make it a museum worth visiting, as are the surrounding gardens. Guided tours are given Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Sunday from Noon to 4 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $4 for children and free to kids under six and all active military personnel. There are also great seasonal events, like the Ice Cream Festival and the Ghost Tours!
