Once an experimental mulberry orchard, this stately public park was the home of Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin. Bought in 1906 by the Brewster family, the stately mansion stood near the great lawn of an estate designed to replicate an English landscape garden. Now a city park hosting many public cultural events.
Hours: Open from sunrise to sunset every day of the year. The conservatory is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. every day except major holidays.

This 1850 estate is the former home of Frances Osborne Kellogg. The grounds include several gardens, among them an English rock garden and formal rose garden. Inside, visitors will find fine art and antiques collections. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A donation is requested from visitors.
