Tour at your own pace, stay all day or just as long as youd like. Costumes encouraged! Bring a picnic to enjoy under the trees.
This entertaining family program features decorated pumpkins telling the story of Locust Grove, including the people and animals who lived and worked at the historic estate since its first famous occupant lived here, Samuel A. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph.
