Glendower Opens for the Season

Thanks to a lot of hard working volunteers Glendower Historic Mansion opened to the public in glorious mode!  Scott Norris and his troops of student volunteers spent several days on a major clean up of the grounds, the Warren County Master Gardeners continue to maintain the herb garden and the day lily walk, and the Lebanon Council of Garden Clubs provided a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers for the drawing room. The Glendower Historic Characters are back and ready to greet you, so plan to make visiting Glendower one of your summer traditions.

Glendower opened Wednesday at 1:00 pm and according to the tour guides on duty, a steady stream of guests visited the house. Hours this year are Wednesday through Saturday, 1:00 to 5:00. Admission is still just $5.00. Grounds are free. Parking free.

The day lily alee (walk) in full bloom. This is a favorite of brides.  They arrive at the bottom of the drive fully dressed and walk up the lily alee to the beautiful Greek revival portico (front porch) where the wedding ceremonies take place.

Thanks to the Warren County Master Gardeners both the day lily alee and the Civil War medicinal herb garden are just beautiful this year.  The herb garden was started last year and is well established now. When you visit the house be sure to pick up our herb garden brochure and learn all about how your ancestors doctored themselves during the Civil War.
