Special Linden Place gardens and grounds tour

Posted

On Thursday, May 29, at 10:30 a.m., there will be a special docent-led tour focused on the statuary on the Linden Place grounds. Explore the grounds while you uncover the history behind the statues and the man that brought them to Bristol, Samuel Pomeroy Colt. Hear the stories of Polymny, the woman who graces the front lawn, as well as the “rampant colts” placed throughout the gardens.

As you tour the grounds, you will have a chance to appreciate the 200-year-old mansion from a different view. Duration will be one hour. This tour is offered on select dates in the summer and also by appointment. The next scheduled tour is Aug. 8.
