The Beautiful Chateau of an Ardent Conservationist!

The home of two term Pennsylvania governor and inaugural chief of the U.S. Forest Servic Gifford Pinchot, Grey Towers is a breathtakingly beautiful building fashioned after the style of a French chateau. The building and the surrounding grounds were donated to the U.S. Forest service after Pinchot's death, and his mission of conservation and forestry survives till this day. The house is open for tours to any of the public who care to see the beauty of its interior, and the spreading grounds are available for those hikers looking to explore the lovely scenery.
